In case anyone has been off the grid or surfing in Bali on extended sabbatical, nanotech breakthroughs are shaping the future of most industries, from life sciences to manufacturing, to energy. There has always been a need for a comprehensive road map. NSF has led the way. New efforts are emerging.

“For 20 years, researchers have explored the amazing promise of atomically-precise manufacturing. Now, for the first time, the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems will show the way forward, and the payoffs along the road, to this ultimate technological revolution.”

“Over the last two years, under Battelle’s leadership, and hosted by four U.S. National Laboratories, researchers from academia, government, and industry have met to chart paths toward advanced, atomically-precise manufacturing. The resulting roadmap reveals crucial challenges and unexpected opportunities in the next steps forward.”

Thanks to the Center for Responsible Nanotech for the info.
