How do I list my company alongside articles?


Conduct a few searches on to view the types of articles that relate to your technology, products or services. Then send us an e-mail at [email protected] indicating the types of keywords you wish to use to ensure visitors find you.



What are the benefits of listing as a Key Supplier? is a huge free access knowledge resource of Nanotech related information, articles, case histories, news, new product releases and technical briefs. As such it is a very attractive destination for the millions of engineers, scientists and designers who are online worldwide.

In addition, the novel search and keyword structure used by means that when a visitor is searching for a solution to a problem they do not need to know anything about Nanotechnology - they simply type into the applications search box their application. The search results then reveal educational and informative content with key suppliers and service providers listed alongside.

Equally, end users can find Nanotech information that relates specifically to their industry. For example, assume you are a designer of medical devices and you wish to find out what Nanotech related news has an impact on your industry sector. Simply click the news tick box, input "medical" in the industries search box and up comes news items which relate to the medical device industry - as a supplier you are then one click away from an enquiry.

What form of content is suitable?

Any form of content that will help to educate the wider science, engineering and design community of the benefits of using Nanotechnology is acceptable.

Typically this will be a review article that provides a little background on a particular sector of Nanotechnology and then concentrates on examples of typical applications. However, also welcomes shorter contributions, news items or even photographs or graphics, which add to the content quality.

Please remember that is heavily focused on providing examples of how nanotechnology can be used and not the fundamental science behind the technology.

To submit email [email protected].

How do I benefit by submitting content? has a very wide audience reach of engineers, designers and scientists who use for very specific nanotech information search and retrieval. Consequently, if you submit content to you can guarantee that unlike traditional print media, your article will be seen by people who are directly interested in you area of expertise or product. If you are a full time academic, you can also offer to provide your consulting services by listing for free as an Expert alongside your article or case history.


How does the application search work?

Every article or news story that is within the knowledge base is keyworded in relation to the significant applications. This keywording can never be exhaustive or complete but it is intended to provide the site visitor with guidance on the major applications. The applications search is intended to make it easy for the non-nanotech specialist to find information on nanotech solutions for their application or similar applications. To make it even easier to find your application or an application similar to the one you seek, we have also included a page that lists the current real time list of all of the applications currently covered on the site.
