About

Nanotechnology—the study and manipulation of matter at 1-100 nm length scales—has provided incredible scientific breakthroughs, from quantum computing and microelectronics to biomedicine and sustainable agriculture. In the two decades since the authorization of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), the United States has become a global leader in the field with world-class R&D infrastructure, but what new capabilities are needed to support emerging technologies?

Join the National Academies on July 17, 2025 from 1 PM to 3 PM ET for a webinar to explore important advances in U.S. nanotechnology R&D and future opportunities for the field. During the webinar, study committee members will summarize key findings and recommendations from the recently released report, Quadrennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative. They will be joined by other nanotechnology experts for a roundtable discussion on how modernizing and expanding access to nanotechnology R&D infrastructure can drive U.S. innovation in critical areas.

Agenda (all times ET)

1 – 1:15 Introduction and Report Overview
Dr. Vicki Colvin (Chair); Dr. Catherine Murphy (Vice Chair); Dr. Angela Belcher; Dr. Ricardo Ruiz
1:15-2:30 Roundtable Discussion
Dr. Robert Langer; Dr. Yu Huang; Dr. Paul Weiss. Moderated by Dr. Vicki Colvin.
2:30-3:00 Q&A

About

Quadrennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative (2025): Securing U.S. Global Leadership Through Renewed and Expanded Infrastructure

Nanotechnology is at the heart of critical and emerging technologies from quantum computing to precision farming—yielding tremendous economic, societal, and national security benefits. As global competition in nanotechnology increases, it is critical to secure U.S. leadership and ensure researchers have access to the state-of-the-art infrastructure necessary to drive innovation.

The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) was created to connect and leverage existing R&D efforts across federal agencies. A new National Academies’ report reviews the landscape of NNI facilities and recommends ways to expand and support U.S. nanotechnology research and development infrastructure.

Learn more about the report by joining us for a public briefing webinar on Thursday, May 22, 2025 from 3:30-4:30pm ET. During the webinar, members of the report’s authoring committee will discuss the main findings and recommendations from the report and take questions from the audience.

About

What are the most compelling questions for the field of nanotechnology in the coming years? What workforce and education policies would best support the research and industrial community? The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is undertaking a study to highlight the importance of nanotechnology infrastructure and assess workforce and education needs. Community input for this study is critical, and we invite you to attend a virtual town hall on Thursday, September 5, 2024 at 12:30 pm PT/ 3:30 pm ET to share your thoughts on the future of nanotechnology in the United States.
