From Confusion To Action

Abstract:
Whether your company is like traditional manufacturer Air Products and Chemicals or 20-year old Nanofilm Ltd., the first step in formulating a strategy for capitalizing on nanotechnology is understanding parameters.

(Ed.'s note: I would argue that where Ms. Collins says "Nanotechnology is not a technology -- nanotechnology is a dimension." (a billionth of a measurement unit -- as in nanometer." that it should read "Nanotechnology is not an industry. Nanotechnolgy can be defined - in this case - as materials science at the nanoscale, taking advantage of the potentially different physical properties found in materials when they are scaled down to under 100nm.")
