12 Funding History Funding for the Life Sciences has been increasing since 1970, e.g. the medical field. Physical Sciences and Engineering funding has remained flat. 12

13 U.S. Government Commitment Senate Bill 2515 dated 27 June 2002 Established Nanotechnology S. 189 Dec 2003 Approved by Congress Signed by President House Bill 766 dated 7 May 2003 Nanotechnology Research and Development Act First, I propose to double the federal commitment to the most critical basic research programs in the physical sciences over the next 10 years. This funding will support the work of America's most creative minds as they explore promising areas such as nanotechnology Pres. G. W.

14 The goals of the NNI are to: 1. conduct R&D to realize the full potential of this revolutionary technology; 2. develop the skilled workforce and supporting infrastructure needed to advance R&D; 3. better understand the social, ethical, health, and environmental implications of the technology; and, 4. facilitate transfer of the new technologies into commercial products. Vision A future in which the ability to understand and control matter on the nanoscale leads to a revolution in technology and industry. Expedite discovery, development, and deployment of nanotechnology for: Economic benefit National & homeland security Improved quality of life The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) is a federal R&D program established to coordinate the multiagency efforts in nanoscale science, engineering, and technology. The NNI is managed within the framework of the National Science and Technology Council (NSTC), whose members appointed by the President are leaders in industry, academia and government. The Nanoscale Science Engineering and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the NSTC coordinates planning, budgeting, program implementation and review to ensure a balanced and comprehensive initiative. The NSET Subcommittee is composed of representatives from agencies participating in the NNI. 14

15 States Universities State Governments are funding nanotechnology by establishing Nanotechnology Centers and working with the University and Business Communities to develop their State economy and work force. 15

16 Capital Investment Internal Investment There are over 300 nanotechnology companies in the United States that are involved in material, electronics, computers, optics, energy, biotechnology, and other fields. Start-up nanotechnology companies are increasing. 16

17 Worldwide Activity Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic. European Union, France, Germany, India Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, The Netherlands, New Zealand, China, Romania, Russia, South Africa, South Korea, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States of America, and others. The U.S. Government, States, U.S. Universities, and U.S. Industries are not alone forging ahead to advance nanotechnology; each of their counterparts throughout the world are also involved in nanotechnology. Global investment estimated $6.0 Billion. 17

Feynman s Classic Talk- 23 December 1959 Electronics January 22, The button-like object by the model with a pair of tweezers is actually an amplifier, which performs the same function as the conventional amplifier on the table. The tiny unit was developed and built by scientists of Westinghouse Electric Corporation in cooperation with the Air Force to demonstrate the feasibility of molecular electronics -- a new electrical engineering concept that could revolutionize the electronics industry and extend man's reach into space. 21

The nanotubes act as electrodes and allow the storage devices to conduct electricity. The device, engineered to function as both a lithiumion battery and a supercapacitor, can provide the long, steady power output comparable to a conventional battery, as well as a supercapacitor s quick burst of high energy.

26 Size Weight - Power Nano Electronics Researcher Decodes Radio Signals Using Atom-Sized Component "Courtesy Zettl Research Group, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and University of California at Berkeley." A scientist has unveiled a working radio built from carbon nanotubes that are only a few atoms across, or almost 1,000 times smaller than today's radio technology. The nanotech device is a demodulator, a simple circuit that decodes radio waves and turns them into audio signals. By hooking the decoder up to two metal wires, University of California at Irvine professor Peter Burke transmitted music via AM radio waves from an ipod to speakers across the room who reported his findings in the November 14, 2007 issue of the American Chemical Society's Nano Letters. 26

The team, which includes researchers from Yale University and the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea, published their findings in the December 24 issue of the journal Nature. Engineers applied a voltage to a benzene molecule, allowing them to raise and lower its energy states and demonstrate that the molecule could be used exactly like a traditional transistor.
