AB  - Development of a central paradigm is undoubtedly the single most influential 
      force responsible for advancing Dalton's 19th century atomic/molecular chemistry 
      concepts to the current maturity enjoyed by traditional chemistry. A similar 
      central dogma for guiding and unifying nanoscience has been missing. This review 
      traces the origins, evolution, and current status of such a critical nanoperiodic 
      concept/framework for defining and unifying nanoscience. Based on parallel 
      efforts and a mutual consensus now shared by both chemists and physicists, a 
      nanoperiodic/systematic framework concept has emerged. This concept is based on 
      the well-documented existence of discrete, nanoscale collections of traditional 
      inorganic/organic atoms referred to as hard and soft superatoms (i.e., 
      nanoelement categories). These nanometric entities are widely recognized to 
      exhibit nanoscale atom mimicry features reminiscent of traditional picoscale 
      atoms. All unique superatom/nanoelement physicochemical features are derived from 
      quantized structural control defined by six critical nanoscale design parameters 
      (CNDPs), namely, size, shape, surface chemistry, flexibility/rigidity, 
      architecture, and elemental composition. These CNDPs determine all intrinsic 
      superatom properties, their combining behavior to form stoichiometric 
      nanocompounds/assemblies as well as to exhibit nanoperiodic properties leading to 
      new nanoperiodic rules and predictive Mendeleev-like nanoperiodic tables, and 
      they portend possible extension of these principles to larger quantized building 
      blocks including meta-atoms.
