Two inventories of nanotechnology products - with different goals - are available on the internet:
- The Nanotechnology Consumer Products Inventory

The database developed by the think-tank NanotechProject, is dedicated to helping ensure that as nanotechnologies advance, possible risks are minimized. It includes a regularly updated listing of more than 600 nanotechnology-based consumer products currently on the market
- The Nanoshop
The product directory is maintained by a group of editors, engineers and industry consultants who want "to help promote nanotechnology"

11 September 2007 - On earth, USA
Nanotechnology already is being used to reformulate many of the products we use. Yet despite concern among scientists about dangerous consequences, the federal government has taken a laissez faire approach. Why is there such lax oversight of these exotic, new nanomaterials, and what does that mean for consumers?

Very useful list of nanoproducts. Thx. But I don’t see there any nano-based products, that will be useful in it sphere, maybe in military. I hoped to find here some information about new nanotechnologies, that Big Brother and friends use in their secret computers or just military computers. Can anyone help me to find information about such products?
VERY NICE JOB FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
