ABSTRACT

The development of nanotechnology applications from fundamental

nanoscience can be a luring perspective for innovative companies

and entrepreneurs. Some examples of applications are nanofilters,

spintronic devices, and nanobatteries, while new applications in

fields like drug delivery, quantum computing, and optoelectronics

are being developed or hold a future promise.∗ One way for companies to enhance their technological innovation capabilities

and develop these new applications is to collaborate with univer-

sities and public knowledge institutes.
