national industry 541713

Research and Development in Nanotechnology

Overview

This U.S. industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in conducting nanotechnology research and experimental development. Nanotechnology research and experimental development involves the study of matter at the nanoscale (i.e., a scale of about 1 to 100 nanometers). This research and development in nanotechnology may result in development of new nanotechnology processes or in prototypes of new or altered materials and/or products that may be reproduced, utilized, or implemented by various industries.

The immediate parent of national industry 541713 is international industry 54171: Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences
