Nanotechnology: Shaping the world atom by atom
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
The ability to image, measure, model, and manipulate matter on the nanoscale is leading to new technologies that will impact virtually every sector of our economy and our daily lives. Nanoscale science and technology has the potential, for example, to increase the efficiency of lighting, enhance the performance of electronic devices, decrease waste and pollution during manufacturing, detect and treat disease at the earliest stages, and provide more cost-effective solar energy conversion. At the same time, care must be taken to develop new technologies for widespread use in a responsible manner. Achieving the benefits promised by nanotechnology will depend on advanced research in fields ranging from chemistry and engineering to biology and materials science; development and support of the necessary infrastructure, including user facilities and instrumentation; and education and training of a skilled workforce and an informed public. This report presents the strategic plan for shaping the world atom by atom. In developing this plan, I sought extensive advice and input from the academic, industrial, and government research communities and took into consideration the recommendations of the 2006 National Academies report.
