ASTM Nanotechnology Committee Meets in Japan

摘要

ASTM International Committee E56 on Nanotechnology met May 22-24 in Tsukuba, Japan. The meeting was hosted by Japan's Institute for Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, that nation's largest public research organization. Over 40 committee members and guests attended meetings over the three-day event; highlights included a reception hosted by AIST and a dinner for the E56 officers and several invited guests representing Japanese government and industry sectors. Of particular note was the resolution of a series of negative votes on the E56 terminology document, which resulted in the approval of E 2456, Terminology for Nanotechnology.
