Abstract

Basic research in nanoscience, funded by governments and industries around the world, has grown dramatically in the last decade. Nanotechnology is expected to affect the world in important ways, much as the chemical, semiconductor, and biotechnology industries have done over the past 75 years. There is tremendous interest and commensurate investment in the potential for scientific discovery at the nanoscale to deliver revolutionary breakthroughs in medicine, computing, materials, and consumer goods. As researchers continue to explore and understand the unique physical phenomena of engineered nanomaterials, technologies employing novel nanoscience will begin to impact all technologies, including chemical and biological (CB) defense applications.
