I think that your question concerns normal particles which are common objects (like a ball?) compared to quantum particles which are atoms...
If that is the question: the nano-particles themselves are bound to each other by electronic forces -- forces that are electron-based. They are so very small that the tiny force pulls of the atmosphere around us can make a difference. Think of the ocean -- not a good comparison, but you know that the tides are caused by the gravitational forces of the moon? That is no force that you can see, but it is effective...
Put simply, larger particles are not affected by the electro-magnetic forces as strongly as nano-particles. The quantum properties come from that effect.

Your being a too little to abstract dude.
