X-rays and Neutrons: Essential Tools for Nanoscience Research. Report of the National Nanotechnology Initiative Workshop, June 16-18, 2005, Washington, D.C.

Abstract

The goals of the NNI are as follows: (1) Advance a world-class nanotechnology research and development (R&D) program; (2) Foster the transfer of new technologies into products for commercial and public benefit; (3) Develop and sustain educational resources, a skilled workforce, and the supporting research infrastructure and tools to advance nanotechnology and (4) Support responsible development of nanotechnology. This document, reporting on the NNI workshop X-rays and Neutrons: Essential Tools for Nanoscience Research, attempts to help the NNI community meet these goals, especially by contributing to the multiagency effort to strengthen the nation s infrastructure for nanoscience research. The concept for the workshop was developed by the meeting sponsors the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in consultation with all members of the Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council to support long-range planning efforts for the NNI.
