Nanoparticle vs Nanosensing - What's the difference?

nanoparticle | nanosensing |

As nouns the difference between nanoparticle and nanosensing

is that nanoparticle is any microscopic particle less than about 100 nanometers (nm) in diameter. In aerosol science, the term is often reserved for particles less than 50 nm in diameter; the term "ultrafine particles" is used for particles less than 100 nm in diameter while nanosensing is the use of nanosensors to investigate nanoparticles.
