It is a nano-device or a pico-device, or nanoDevice and picoDevice if you want to be trendy.
What the fields do is up to the designer or user. If groups waste their energy trying to distinguish their work by a somewhat random sequence of historical findings and names, they are not going to make the transitional breaks with the past that define completely new industries and changes in thinking.
Tracking this for many decades now, I feel the whole nano industry (and pico and femto and atto, Mega, Giga, Tera etc) needs to think seriously about what they can accomplish in the next hundred or thousand years and stop leaving all the markets, applications, goals and control to the investors and marketing and advertising staff – who only want to make few billion, when hundreds of trillions are on the line.
I bet you are not even trying to make TeraWatt plasmonic devices and controls yet. Do you think Elon Musk needs more computers, or more nuclear powered plasma accelerators? I was going to say European Space Agency, but they metaphorically weld their rockets to the launch sites and prevent themselves from flying freely and far.
Fusion-Powered ExaWatt “Plasmonic Field Generators” with Integrated Control Systems for “launch and catch”, and “turn-key compact drives” for heliospheric freight and communications networks. Remote sites takes on new meaning when the Universe is infinite and not defined by some petty academics.
Abbreviations are impossible to find or sell, so write things out clearly and use a formal heliospheric language that will grow ahead of your needs, not always playing catch up.
