ABSTRACT

Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices and systems through control of matter on the nanometer length scale (1-100 nanometers), and exploitation of novel phenomena and properties (physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, electrical...) at that length scale.” Achyranthes aspera commonly called as Prickly Chaff Flower, Chaff-flower, Crocus stuff, Crokars staff, and Devil’s horsewhip.
