In this issue:

• Starting From the Ground up With Nanotechnology Standardization
  While the concept of nanotechnology (if not the word itself) has been around since as early as 1959, it has only been in more recent years that interest in its industrial applications has grown.

• IEEE Develops a New Nanoelectronics Roadmap
  This spring, IEEE began inviting the public to comment on its Nanoelectronics Standards Roadmap, which establishes a framework for creating standards to help industry transition electronic applications based on nanotechnology from the laboratory to the commercial sector. Cherry Tom, IEEE project initiation manager, discusses why IEEE chose to develop the roadmap and why it’s focusing on nanoelectronics.

• The Nanotechnology Revolution
  Researchers,industry leaders and governments may not always see eye to eye, but one thing they do agree on is that the nanotechnology revolution is on its way.
