Au sens strict, un objet de taille nanométrique occupe un volume de moins de 103 nm3. Il est formé de 105 atomes. Aussi, le terme de «molecular technologies»(par opposition à «bulk technologies») est souvent préféré à «nanotechnologie». Mais lorsque l'on parle de nanotechnologie il se peut que l'on étende ce domaine extrêmement réduit à tout ce qui est théories, techniques ou mécanismes visant à manipuler ou à fabriquer des objets de taille comparable à celle des composants élémentaires de la matière. Le nanotechnologue parlera dans ce cas d’ingénierie moléculaire. 2, record 1, French, - nanotechnologue

Les nanotechnologues peuvent [créer] des matériaux nouveaux [qui] ouvrent à leur tour la voie au développement d’applications et de produits nouveaux. Par exemple des vernis résistants aux griffures, des vitrages autonettoyants et des médicaments «sur mesure». On trouve déjà aujourd’hui sur le marché quelques nanoproduits. 3, record 1, French, - nanotechnologue
