Description
This report discusses the nanotechnology and MEMS
(microelectromechanical systems) market and points out the opportunities and technologies. Is nanotechnology the next big thing? The vision for making smaller
and smaller things as a result of the R&D in MEMS and nanoscience opens a whole world of application possibilities. While no commercial nanoscale devices
exist yet, MEMS sensors and actuators are appearing on the market in a few industrial or automotive applications. The report estimates that the nanotechnology
R&D market will reach nearly $933 million in 2005 or will it? By contrast, the worldwide MEMS market will reach $23 billion.
This report is a “must-have” for anyone interested
in the business and investment opportunities in nanotechnology and MEMS. This technology report provides an overview of current nanotechnology and MEMS R&D.
This study discusses the commercialization drivers for nanotechnology as well as the thought leaders are and their patents. This report assesses the market and
outlook for nanotechnology R&D and MEMS. The study covers the business activities of the key nanotechnology R&D firms and highlights the future directions in
nanotechnology.
Readers will learn about key business
opportunities and the lessons learned from the nanotechnology and MEMS experts. This 129-page report uses more than 25 tables and figures to show the trends of
this emerging science. Key nanotechnology R&D firms are profiled and examined to reveal how they do business. This report also looks at the invention of
better instrumentation and materials for use in nanoscience and technology research that has the effect of accelerating progress. Further, this report
discusses who is investing in nanotechnology and why.
