Mapping Nanotechnology Innovations and Knowledge

The book provides an in-depth analysis of nanotechnology development through a comprehensive examination of scientific articles and patents from 1976 to 2006. It explores the evolution of research themes, the relationship between research funding and patent output, and presents comparative results across countries and institutions. A web-based system for visualizing this data enhances accessibility. Aimed at students and professionals, the chapters cover knowledge mapping, federal funding impacts, and longitudinal studies of innovations, making complex information approachable and informative.
