PUBLICATIONS
This important and up-to-date electronic book on CD-ROM provides a comprehensive guide to nanotechnology - called the next industrial revolution - and extensive research into this vital new field by the federal government. Nanoscale research refers to science, engineering, and technology at the level of atoms and molecules, with a length scale of 1 to 100 nanometers - a nanometer is one billionth of a meter.
This huge collection of documents and papers from 18 federal agencies, departments, and laboratories provides in-depth knowledge about ongoing research activities and highlights the potential of this amazing new technology. The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) provides a multi-agency framework to ensure U.S. leadership in nanotechnology, investing in fundamental research to further understanding of nanoscale phenomena and facilitates technology transfer.
There is extensive material from every important agency and department investigating nanoscale technologies: Department of Defense (DOD), Navy Research Laboratory (NRL), Energy Department (DOE), Office of Science, Materials Science subprogram, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Food and Drug Administration (FDA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
In addition to the document reproductions, there are 28 MPG movie clips depicting nanoscale research at NASA’s Ames Research Center.
