US National Science and Technology Council, Committee on Technology, Interagency Working Group on NanoScience, Engineering and Technology: ”Nanostructure Science and Technology, A Worldwide Study”. [September 1999]. (“Nanostructure science and technology is a broad and interdisciplinary area of research and development activity that has been growing explosively worldwide in the past few years. It has the potential for revolutionizing the ways in which materials and products are created and the range and nature of functionalities that can be accessed. It is already having a significant commercial impact, which will assuredly increase in the future. A worldwide study of research and development status and trends in nanoparticles, nanostructured materials, and nanodevices (or more concisely, nanostructure science and technology) was carried out during the period 1996-98 by an eight-person panel under the auspices of the World Technology (WTEC) Division of Loyola College.”)
