ANSI's Nanotechnology Standards Panel (ANSI-NSP) has launched a
new database that provides information on nanotechnology-related standards and activities. According to the agency, the database is free resource that does not directly host standards, but rather is meant to provide information on them. ANSI also adds that standards development organizations do have the option to add links to their relevant documents. ANSI-NSP Cochair Shaun Clancy says that the nanotechnology community is very productive and creates numerous methods and procedures. "Unfortunately, these are often hard to find even though they are publicly available," Clancy says. "The creation of the
ANSI-NSP Nanotechnology Standards Database will make it easier to find these documents and facilitate continued improvements in productivity in the community."

ANSI-NSP website or the
new database.
