Please add below "Origin" subheading following lines: First usage of nanotechnology goes back to 4th century when a Roman artisan made a chalice called the Lycurgus Cup. Particles were so small that were just 50 nanometers in diameter. That means these elements were less than one-thousandth the size of a grain of table salt.[1] Ianzonja (talk) 21:35, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Not done: I dispute that the definition or example of "nanotechnology" should not include artistic use of nanoscale particles as the Roman did. The article emphasizes that nanoscale method is done with intentional technological advantage. The source interprets that the Roman artisan played with dust for artistic effect, and had a fortunate outcome which I agree is beautiful (like adding varnish to flat paint to create gloss), but not technologically intended. --Zefr (talk) 23:33, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- As a colleague of mine once stated (he was at the time actually involved in high level committees in the EU on the definition of nanotechnology), if we start defining nanotechnology like this, then boiling an egg (i.e. changing the molecular structure of the protein at a nano-scale) should also be labelled nanotechnology.
- Or in other words, I fully support Zefr's call here for much the reason given. Arnoutf (talk) 15:32, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

I think this could be included in history part, because this is nano
The photocatalytic properties of nanosized titanium dioxide were published by Akira Fujishima in 1972. Fujishima, Akira; Honda, Kenichi (1972). "Electrochemical Photolysis of Water at a Semiconductor Electrode". Nature. 238 (5358): 37–8. Hyacintara (talk) 16:45, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Portal:Nanotechnology for deletion
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5f/Ambox_warning_orange.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_orange.svg.png)
A discussion is taking place as to whether Portal:Nanotechnology is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The page will be discussed at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Nanotechnology until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the page during the discussion, including to improve the page to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the deletion notice from the top of the page. North America1000 06:27, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

In both tables "Top nanotechnology research organizations" the MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology (https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/MESA%2B_Institute_for_Nanotechnology) is missing. I would like add this institute to the tables, respectively with this data:
MESA+ Institute for Nanotechnology - The Netherlands - 193 first patents - 6736 Scientific publications

Not done: This is not a compiled list but a list of top ten organizations at the time of publication from the World Intellectual Property Organization. MESA+ did not qualify under either of the criteria WIPO used in compiling that report. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:40, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
Nano-architected silica reported to be 5x lighter & 4x stronger than steel

Two references and one paragraph added
[edit]I added a paragraph under the Applications subheading that discusses Nanoencapsulation. An important topic of Nanotechnology that has revolutionized the medical field. I also added two references that back up the claims made. Monsterinthevi 1 (talk) 00:59, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- The paragraphs you added have too much Peacock, that is they use words which exaggerate and are bragging. Please rewrite with a more neutral tone, otherwise they should be removed. Ldm1954 (talk) 01:46, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Updated, please let me know if any further revisions are needed. Monsterinthevi 1 (talk) 20:02, 11 December 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, there is more you have to do:
- Reference 64 is to a repository, you need to use the original journal. You also need to read the article to see if there really are any products or this is speculation
- Reference 65 is also a repository, also cannot be used.
- You need to look carefully whether you are being misled by claims that are spin versus solid in reputable sources. Nanotechnology is full of spin and inappropriate claims, and some good science (perhaps 20% is decent). Ldm1954 (talk) 20:30, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on a nanoscale, which is typically measured from one to 100 nanometers ¹. This technology has a wide range of applications, including ¹: - Surface science - Organic chemistry - Molecular biology - Semiconductor physics - Energy storage - Engineering - Microfabrication - Molecular engineering It also has applications in various fields, such as: - Nanomedicine - Nanoelectronics - Biomaterials - Energy production - Consumer products 103.211.13.155 (talk) 10:15, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Is this a suggested edit, a comment or what? Ldm1954 (talk) 10:25, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
