The sense of a fictional substance containing machines built on a nanoscale. Jonathan Webley 20:35, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

The online OED has it to mean nanotechnology. Other online dictionaries have it meaning any nanotechnology product, as does the OED's citations. SemperBlotto 21:43, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Shouldn't this be at nano- (which already exists, BTW?) I don't think you'd speak of "a nano" or "our nano" unless it's meant to be slang...probably not that common; a quick look at Google Books hits seems to indicate that uses are either adjectival or as a combining form. --Jeffqyzt 15:03, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree. Removind disputed sense. Andrew massyn 03:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
