About 175 thousand #nanotechnology #patent applications have been published by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) from 2002 to 2021, which shows an average annual growth rate of 9.8%.
Chinese institutions dominate the fastest-rising ranks in #nano-related output. The country leads the field in the #Nature_Index, with a Share of 4,521.61 in 2021, almost double that of the United States, in second place.
A new #standard about the methodology for measuring the thickness of #graphene_oxide (GO) flakes using SEM and AFM is under development. It is applicable to the characterization of graphene oxide in powder and liquid dispersion forms.
The global #market of #nanotechnology-enabled #products stood at approximately US$1.6 trillion in 2014. In one estimate, the industry could generate 6 million jobs and account for 10% of global #GDP by 2030.
The #NSF 2022 budget request includes funding for the discovery and development of fundamental knowledge pertaining to new phenomena in the physical, biological, and engineering sciences that occur at the #nanoscale.
StatNano's #policy database contains a total of 180 evaluation reports of #nanotechnology from various countries. USA, Russia, Australia, Iran, and the UK possess the highest number of nanotechnology #evaluation reports.
More than half of the WoS indexed #nano_articles were published in #Q1 journals in 2021, with China, the United States, and South Korea having the highest volumes, respectively.
The global #nanotechnology #services market is expected to grow from $158.98 billion in 2021 to $172.89 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8%.
The total #market volume of #nano_products made in #Iran in 2020 is estimated at about USD 553 million, which amounts to USD 3 billion dollars once the purchasing power parity (PPP) is accounted for.
A new, low-cost wearable #nano_engineered device employs #thermoelectric generators to convert the body’s internal temperature into electricity. Researchers predict devices could appear on the market in five to 10 years.
The new #composite fabric based on metal-organic frameworks (#MOFs) has catalysts present in its cavities that are able to capture and deactivate toxic chemicals, #viruses, and #bacteria.
Researchers created a transistor-like #nanocomputr using a #rapamycin-sensitive domain and a #light-sensitive domain, that can control the function of a particular protein involved in cell movement and #cancer metastasis.
A new biohybrid #photocatalyst, containing a light-harvesting protein, can make #pharmaceutical, #agrochemical, and #fuel synthesis more efficient and environmentally compatible.
Binding of multidentate ligands to the surface of lead halide #perovskite #nanocrystals suppresses the formation of surface defects that result in halide segregation, yielding materials with efficient and color-stable red #emission.
#Nanobodies have the potential to be developed into treatment and immunity against #SARS_CoV2 and its novel escape mutant. Thanks to their small size they can bind to the virus in more places than regular #antibodies.
Among the top 25 largest #oil and #gas companies, Baker Hughes, Saudi Aramco, and Halliburton have issued the highest number of #nanotechnology_patents so far.
In Russian Federation, the #RUSNANO School League program is a permanent participant of the NTI #Kruzhok_Movement. The program is one of the key projects for #mentor training.
