Abstract
Nanotechnology, a disruptive technology phenomenon is regarded as one of the key technologies of the future and associated with high expectation by science, economy and society. Artificially produced nanosized particles and nanoscale system components have new properties which are of importance for the development of new products and applications in different areas as diverse as materials and manufacturing, nanoelectronics, medicine and healthcare, environment, energy, chemicals, biotechnology, agriculture, information technology, transportation, and national security. Developments in these emerging fields are likely to change fundamentally the existing technology base as well as generating new technologies with a broad range of applications. It has been recognized as a promising new growth innovator leading to a shift from the exploration of nanotechnology knowledge towards a phase of exploitation. Nanotechnology is fundamentally changing the way materials and devices will be produced in the future. The high-tech small firms, especially those dealing with nanotechnology, are highly interested in developments in science and technology. Nanotechnology has the potential to significantly impact energy efficiency, storage, and production. It can be used to monitor and remediate environmental problems; curb emissions from a wide range of sources; and develop new “green” processing technologies that minimize the generation of undesirable by-products. Such multidisciplinary insights will stimulate progress in nanobiotechnology, with impact in virtually all areas of biomedicine, development of new generations of safer, lighter, and more efficient vehicles etc. This will support long-term nanoscale...
