Foresight Nanotech Institute, a leading nanotechnology think tank, and Battelle, a leading global research and development organization, have officially unveiled Productive Nanosystems: A Technology Roadmap.
This roadmap is an attempt to map out the R&D pathways across multiple disciplines to achieve atomically precise manufacturing. For the past three years, working groups comprised of over 70 research scientists, nanotechnology theorists, and business leaders have collaborated to create a common framework for understanding and defining these pathways.
The proceedings from the nanosystems working group that created the roadmap were released as well. It covers a wide range of topic besides atomic level manufacturing such as: Motors, Movers and applications.
