Nanotechnology

"Nanotechnology comprises technological developments on the nanometer scale, usually 0.1 to 100 nm. (One nanometer equals one thousandth of a micrometre or one millionth of a millimeter.)" (Source: Wikipedia)

The Foresight Institute :: "Foresight is the leading think tank and public interest institute on nanotechnology. Founded in 1986, Foresight was the first organization to educate society about the benefits and risks of nanotechnology. At that time, nanotechnology was a little-known concept."
Nanotechnology Now :: "NN was created to serve the information needs of business, government, academic, and public communities. And with the intention of becoming the most informative and current free collection of "nano" reference material. We will cover: related future sciences, issues, news, events, and general information, and make this a place to come for information, stimulating debate, and research info."
Nano Science & Technology Institute :: The Nano Science and Technology Institute (NSTI) was created in 1997 and chartered with the promotion and integration of small technologies through education, technology and business development.
Nanoforum :: The European Nanotechnology Gateway. "Nanoforum is a pan-European nanotechnology network funded by the European Union under the Fifth Framework Programme (FP5) to provide information on European nanotechnology efforts and support to the European nanotechnology community."
Yahoo Groups Nanotechnology :: "This mailing list revolves around the emerging science of nanotechnology. Discussions include application, futurism, idea exchange, design, social implications, economic issues, policy and legislation and other relevent group sub-topics. Questions of impact and strategic implications are encouraged as well as exchanges of information."
