Terms Containing "Nano"

Somewhat acceptable terms

Molecular Nanotechnology

This is the most widely used term for AP technology asd of (2013)
Google searches yield the most relevant results when this term is used.
Wikipedia uses this still as the main term Moelcular nanotechnology

Advanced Nanotechnology

There is also advanced nanotechnology in the biological direction, so this term is too unspecific and should be avoided.

Nanomechanics

Nanorobotics

Nanomedicine

Terms to Avoid

Nanotechnology

This term is way too generic and has lost its original meaning. See "history" for more information.

Nanobots

Spurs misinformed thoughts of artificial lifeforms.

Nanites

Makes sure one thinks of "nanobugs".

Nanosubmarines

Not that bad for speculative medical nanodevices but propulsion and interaction with nanobiology is often imagined in wrong nonphysical ways.

Nanobugs

Completely unsuitable.
