Growing nanotechnology business around the globe

6 July 2010

Nanotechnology is continuously improving its presence and now more than 2000 companies worldwide are engaged in this field from research to manufacturing or applications. A large number of companies around more than half are from United States., above 600 companies are from Europe and more than 200 are from Asia.

Nanotechnology has now become a multidisciplinary research area where the study can lead to its applications over a wide range from medicine to energy. With the advanced equipments such as atomic force microscope, tunneling electron microscope and the latest technologies including electron beam lithography have allowed researchers to manipulate the nanostructures, which was not possible earlier.

With the manipulating nanostructure size, researchers now can achieve the desired nanoparticle that shows different properties compared to the macroscale properties and some of the physical properties get entirely changed. For example copper from opaque becomes transparent at nanoscale, platinum from inert becomes catalyst at nanoscale and gold becomes liquid from solid at nanoscale.

 Nanotechnology thus involve many new dimensions to research and applications and it is growing very fast and even many developing countries have opened institutes for the study of nanotechnology and nanotechnology research facilities are being created.
