Nanotechnology in a Nutshell is designed to be useful for busy news desks, especially those that lack ready access to a science correspondent.
This leaflet provides you with a clear explanation of some of the terms that are now used in stories about nanotechnology.
It is intended as a handy guide, to be kept on your desk for use when nanotechnology hits the headlines. It is not meant to teach you about nanotechnology from scratch!
If you're still not sure where to get the answers you're looking for, or need to talk to a scientist about nanotechnology, contact the Science Media Centre:
