The initial cost in nanotechnology can be broken down into several key components:
1. Research and Development: This includes the cost of conducting preliminary research, experiments, and feasibility studies. 2. Equipment: The purchase of specialized equipment such as electron microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and nanofabrication tools. 3. Facilities: Setting up cleanrooms and laboratories that meet stringent environmental and safety standards. 4. Materials: The cost of raw materials and chemicals required for nanofabrication. 5. Human Resources: Hiring skilled professionals, including scientists, engineers, and technicians.
