nanostructure

/nˌænoʊstɹˈʌktʃɚ/ noun

Any manufactured or natural structure having a scale between molecular and microscopic.

Word Origin Combining Greek nanos 'dwarf' and Latin structure 'building' — a nanostructure is a tiny construction at the nanometer scale. The nano- prefix is from the Greek word for dwarf, and structure comes from struere 'to pile up, build', which also gives us construct, destroy (un-build), and instruct (build into the mind).

noun Any manufactured or natural structure having a scale between molecular and microscopic. countable
