From Here to There: Nanotechnology Roadmap

Foresight Institute and Battelle Unveil a Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems

Menlo Park, CA – The potential for nanotechnology to “build molecule-by-molecule” has been greatly discussed with one question invariably being asked: How do we get from here to there?

The Foresight Institute, a leading nanotechnology think tank and public interest organization, and Battelle, a leading global research and development organization, have officially unveiled “Productive Nanosystems: A Technology Roadmap.” Productive nanosystems are molecular-scale systems that make other useful materials and devices that are nanostructured
