This Committee addresses issues related to standards and guidance materials for nanotechnology & nanomaterials, as well as the coordination of existing ASTM standardization related to nanotechnology needs. ASTM International is one of the largest voluntary standards development organizations in the world

Nanotechnology deals with the manipulation of atoms and/or molecules to produce materials, devices and even machines. This presentation in PDF format gives you a clear picture of nanotechnology. Worth to see the presentation.

The stated goal of the managers of this website is 'to present accurate news gathering on the research and development areas of nano science and the resulting nanotechnology, while disseminating the issues that will arise from the rapid commercialization of products in the marketplace in order to develop public awareness of the benefits versus the problems as they arise.? It is a product of the NanoTechnology Group Inc.

Summary: "There is plenty of innovation in micro- and nanotechnologies, but bringing new devices to market is often prohibitively expensive. Many micro devices have small production volumes, while design, packaging and testing are costly. Now European researchers are breaking down the barriers by developing design methodologies that focus on manufacturing, packaging and testing." ICT Results, January 4, 2008.
