Nano Nano
#Nano-, the SI prefix meaning 10
-9
* Nanometre, one billionth of a meter
# Nanotechnology, extremely small technology at the nanometre scale
# Nanomaterials, materials science as applied to nanotechnology
# Nanoengineering, system of engineering on the nano (very small) scale
While nanotechnology is very important and will impact on our future
beware the hype, 'Nano' the buzz word and latest marketing gimmick.
Nanoscale microstructures and materials are nothing new, they exist naturally in many materials/coatings
without necessarily specific engineering.
I'm just saying look beyond the term 'nano', many old products could be re-marketed with the term nano
