With the hundred of millions the US government has budgeted for research and development in mind, other nations expect nanotechnology to be a significant player in creating technology, generating market growth, and making advances in national security. In this collection, articles describe the research and applications being developed in China (including private development), Korea (including research into carbon nanotubes), Europe (including a listing of funding policies by nation) and the US (including preparation of a diverse nanotechnology workforce). Other articles cover such topics as methods of investing in nanotechnology, and new technologies and applications, such as polymeric nanofibers, textiles, and measurement standards.
