Bible Question (short): What or who are the Nephilim?

Question (full): Good Day,
I am reading Genesis 6. In verses 1-4 the Nephilim is mentioned. The bible also makes reference to the sons of God. Are these the same persons and are they (Nephilims) the result of falled angels and mortal women(verse 2)?
I've looked through the bible dictionaries found on biblegetaway.com but no real orgin of the Nephilim is given. They say that they are giants but it still is not clear.
Thank You, Alexis
