Nanotechnologies output and impact
Background information
Over the past two decades, China's overall scientific research capabilities have been rapidly enhanced and has become the world’s leading power. Nanotechnology, as an essential subject, has made breakthrough progress both in quantity and quality. To further promote the development of nanoscience research, as well as recognize the opportunities and challenges in the field of nanoscience, it is essential (for researchers) to be based on the current status of nanoscience research , and to analyze the scope and impact of research outcomes, as well as to conduct horizontal comparison analysis on a global scale.

I have read the draft of the Nano Report, I could say that it is the most informative report of Nano I have ever seen. It is really a wonderful report, showing the innovative power and promotive power of nanoscience to almost all disciplines. These analyses themselves are also full of innovative ideas, different viewpoint, and different visions, comparing with any Nano Reports we have seen before. So, I do appreciate you for this great job.
