Analyst gives nano the red-carpet treatment
Abstract:
Matthew Nordan, president of nano-market researcher Lux Research, noted that nanotechnology is entering the mainstream and is already embedded in products ranging from insulation to pharmaceuticals.
Nordan spoke at the company's Lux Executive Summit conference here, where he said that as nanomaterials become adopted by different industries, the "nano" label will fade away. "In 10 years, or maybe five, if (you use) the term 'nanotechnology,' it will date you," he said. "Today's 'nano materials' are tomorrow's 'materials.'"
