Funding discrepancies can have several adverse effects on nanotechnology research:
Stunted Innovation: Lack of funding for specific areas can hinder the exploration of new ideas and technologies, slowing down overall progress in the field. Talent Drain: Researchers may move to better-funded areas or countries, leading to a concentration of expertise and innovation in specific regions or subfields. Limited Collaboration: Disparities in funding can limit opportunities for interdisciplinary and international collaborations, which are crucial for advancing complex nanotechnology research.
