description This article presents a mapping exercise in the Nanosciences field, based on citation relations, and a first sketch of citation transactions, a measure of cognitive dependences. Nanosciences are considered as one of the "convergent" components shaping the future of science and technology. Recurrent question about the structure of the field are its diversity and multi or inter-disciplinarity. From several points of view, observations confirm a strong differentiation of the field, scattered in multiple galaxies with moderate level of exchanges. The multi-disciplinarity of themes and super-themes detected by mapping, appears also moderate, most of the super-themes being based on physics and chemistry in various proportions. Analysis of references list structure at the article level suggests that a real inter-disciplinarity accounts for the observed multi-disciplinarity L'article présente un exercice de cartographie du champ des Nanosciences par une méthode fondée sur les relations de citation, ainsi qu'une première approche des transactions de citations, une mesure des dépendances cognitives. Les nanosciences sont considérées comme l'une des composantes "convergentes"qui modèlent le devenir de la science et de la technologie. La diversité, la multi ou inter-disciplinarité du champ sont des questions récurrentes. Les observations de différents points de vue confirment une forte différenciation du champ, éclaté dans de multiples galaxies avec un niveau d'échanges modéré. La multi-disciplinarité des thèmes ou super-thèmes détectés dans la cartographie semble également modérée, la plupart des super-thèmes relevant, dans des proportions variables de deux grandes disciplines, physique et chimie. Cependant l'analyse de la structure de la liste de références au niveau des articles suggère q'une réelle inter-disciplinarité intervient à ce niveau.
