Nanowerk Nanotechnology News and Spotlights Checkout Nanowerk's round-up of nanotechnology news and feature articles. Some articles are more like an introduction to nanotechnology, some are about understanding current developments, and some are advanced reviews of leading edge research.
The Institute of Nanotechnology The Institute of Nanotechnology was established in the United Kingdom to promote the advancement of nanotechnology.
The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies – nanotechnology publications, events, news and inventories. The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies was established in April 2005 as a partnership between the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Pew Charitable Trusts. The Project is dedicated to helping ensure that as nanotechnologies advance, possible risks are minimized, public and consumer engagement remains strong, and the potential benefits of these new technologies are realized.

Research (2005) Is the United States losing ground in science? A global perspective on the world science system (pdf) by Loet Leydesdorff and Caroline Wagner – USA is still by far the strongest nation in terms of scientific performance. Its relative decline in percentage share of publications is largely due to the emergence of China and other Asian nations. In 2006, China has become the second largest nation in terms of the number of publications within this database. In terms of citations, the competitive advantage of the American 'domestic market' is diminished, while the European Union (EU) is profiting more from the enlargement of the database over time than the US. However, the USA is still outperforming all other countries in terms of highly cited papers and citation/publication ratios, and it is more successful than the EU in coordinating its research efforts in strategic priority areas like nanotechnology. In this field, the People's Republic of China (PRC) has become second largest nation in both numbers of papers published and citations behind the USA.
Research (2005) The Emergence of China as a Leading Nation in Science by Loet Leydesdorff and Ping Zhou – China has become the fifth leading nation in terms of its share of the world's scientific publications. The citation rate of papers with a Chinese address for the corresponding author also exhibits exponential growth. More specifically, China has become a major player in critical technologies like nanotechnology. Although it is difficult to delineate nanoscience and nanotechnology, we show that China has recently achieved a position second only to that of the USA. Funding for R&D has been growing exponentially, but since 1997 even more in terms of business expenditure than in terms of government expenditure. It seems that the Chinese government has effectively used the public-sector research potential to boost the knowledge-based economy of the country. Thus, China may be achieving the ('Lisbon') objectives of the transition to a knowledge-based economy more broadly and rapidly than its western counterparts. Because of the sustained increase in Chinese government funding and the virtually unlimited reservoir of highly-skilled human resources, one may expect a continuation of this growth pattern in the near future.
