United States universities have been working on developing new nanotechnology applications. Louisiana Tech University is targeting the use of nanotechnology in converting carbon dioxide and natural gas into syngas. Comments from executives are also included.

In 1968, Swiss watch manufacturers controlled 80 percent of the world market in high quality watches. By 1973, their market share had plummeted to less than 25 percent and they [...]

Around the world today, the nanotechnology industry is producing smaller, more efficient and more powerful microprocessing chips that are used in everything from watches to supercomputers. This growing industry is [...]

Many potential uses nanotechnology are emerging in increasing numbers and some of the applications are under development at the New Jersey Nanotechnology Consortium founded by Lucent Technologies' Bell Labs, New Jersey. The consortium goes beyond telecommunications in both its partners and potential applications and unlike commercial facilities has the flexibility to interact over a large variety of disciplines in what will be a trillion-dollar-a-year industry by 2020.

Nanotechnology will significantly impact the US military, economic and security concerns but opinions differ on how exactly this will occur. Experts warn that it is essential for the US to stay ahead in the game of what could be the next arms race and while the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) will play its part it may not be enough particularly with China and India nipping at the US heels.

Nanotechnology implicitly refers to a set of capabilities at the atomic scale that grew steadily throughout the second half of the 20th century into the basis for a true technology revolution in the society. The field of nanotechnology is making many scientists and policymakers excited over the potential impact of this field on areas like energy, public health, and the environment.

The special properties often exhibited by nanoparticles have led to advancements such as extremely hard and scratch-proof coatings, low-sintering-temperature ceramics, materials with a high fracture strength and toughness at low [...]
