What are the primary sources of funding for nanotechnology research?
Nanotechnology research is often funded by a combination of government grants, private sector investments, and academic institutions. Government agencies, such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) in the United States, the European Commission in Europe, and various national funding bodies worldwide, provide substantial grants for nanotechnology projects. Private companies also invest heavily, especially in applied research and commercialization initiatives. Academic institutions frequently allocate internal funds or seek external grants to support their research activities.
