Abstract

The nanoscience and nanotechnology community in China has made remarkable advances across the RD spectrum, from fundamental scientific research to studies into the potential societal implications of new nanotechnologies. China still has a long way to go to improve the overall competitiveness of its nanoscience and nanotechnology enterprise, but all of the signs that I can see suggest it will become a leading contributor in the coming years.
