With the advent of fullerenes and nanotubes, carbon science has achieved added prominence in the sciences, and chemistry has played a major role in this new area (see page 27). But until recently, nanoscale science and technology had been homeless within the American Chemical Society. That now has been corrected with the formation of the Advanced Materials & Nanotechnology Subdivision within the ACS Division of Industrial & Engineering Chemistry (I&EC). ACS national meetings, you were forced to choose between a number of possible divisions, explains Robert C. Haddon, a professor of chemistry at the University of Kentucky, Lexington. This diluted the science presented, and the breadth and interdisciplinary nature of the subject made any single choice particularly difficult. At the time Haddon expressed those views in C&EN (Oct. 18, 1999, page 56), physical chemist and ACS member Elisabeth Lutanie, who works in ACS's Publications Division, had been working with I&EC on getting nanoscience a home ...
