Foresight Nanotech Institute and Battelle have officially unveiled “Productive Nanosystems: A Technology Roadmap.”

Productive nanosystems are molecular-scale systems that make other useful materials and devices that are nanostructured.

The Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems is a first attempt to map out the R&D pathways across multiple disciplines to achieve atomically precise manufacturing. For the past three years, working groups comprised of over 70 research scientists, nanotechnology theorists, and business leaders have collaborated to create a common framework for understanding and defining these pathways, identifying the challenges, and providing a structure for formulating research and commercialization agendas for achieving atomically precise manufacturing.
