Overused, misused nano becoming pervasive prefix by Shannon at 5:03 pm EDT, Aug 3, 2003 |
" NEW YORK, Aug 3 (Reuters) - Even though nanotechnology is still in its infancy, the nano prefix is quickly growing into one of the most over-used and misused phrases in the English language." "Nano-tex, which is majority owned by Burlington Industries Inc. (OTC BB:BRLG.OB - News) and aims to improve textiles at the molecular level, could have you outfitted in nanopants before long." "They have already listed trademarks such as nano-care and nano-pel for their stain- and wrinkle-resistant materials." "The environmental crusaders from Greenpeace may not be sure what nanotechnology is, but they are already against it.Greenpeace has called for a moratorium on the release of nanoparticles in commercial products until studies of potential nano pollution can be completed." " Enthusiasts are referred to as nano reefers, which apparently has nothing to do with minuscule marijuana cigarettes." |
