Thirteen terms are defined in the document, from agglomerate to ultrafine particle. Such applications exploit the properties, distinct from bulkmacroscopic systems, of nanoscale components. An informative story about the new standard appears at www. smalltimes. com, and PDF of the standard can be downloaded at the ASTM Website.

Is it question of physical scale or selfassembly, marketing hype or precise technical definition? It was bit confusing, but the level of perplexity escalated when Apple came along and branded an iPod with the n word. Thirteen terms are defined in the document, from agglomerate to ultrafine particle. How can something visible, like an MP3 player, possibly be nano anythingeven if certain components inside contain nanoscale features? Small is not necessarily beautifulor nano. Last month though, the nanosemantical struggles took turn for the better when the ASTM International committee on nanotechnology issued new standard, 245606, Terminology for Nanotechnology.

This bakers dozen should be of great use to those laboring in the nanotrenches term not defined, btw, but the Big Onenanotechnologyneeds to be shared herenanotechnology, nA term referring to wide range of technologies that measure, manipulate, or incorporate materials andor features with at least one dimension between approximately and nanometers nm.
