This all-language literature survey categorizes and lists books, book chapters, reviews, editorials, papers, abstracts, and patents on the topic of nanotechnology that have been published up to the middle of 2001. It can serve as a convenient entry point into the nanotechnology literature for those wishing to gain an insight into the scope and diversity of this important and rapidly expanding branch of science. The database has been compiled from searches of OVID Medline, INSPEC, BIOSIS, PubMed, various patent databases, and the personal databases of members the IFCC Working Group on Nanotechnology. The listing of references for each of the 19 categories can be found at Clinical Chemistry Online (www.clinchem.org/content/vol48/issue4/).
The science of nanotechnology "is concerned with materials and systems whose structures and components exhibit novel and significantly improved physical, chemical and biological properties, phenomena and processes because of their small nanoscale size. Structural features in the range of
10-9 to 10-7 m (1 to 100 nanometers) determine important changes as compared to the behavior of isolated molecules (1
