Nanotechnology Research and Development Act

The Nanotechnology Research and Development Act is legislation that supports and promotes research into nanotechnology, which involves manipulating and engineering materials at an extremely small scale—thousands of times thinner than a human hair. This act aims to advance scientific understanding, foster innovation, and develop new products across industries like medicine, electronics, and energy. It also encourages collaboration between government, industry, and academia to ensure safe, effective, and responsible use of nanotechnology. Overall, the act seeks to boost technological progress and economic growth through focused investment and policy guidance in this cutting-edge field.
