The report notes four principal themes emerging from the current technological trends: increased information capability, miniaturization, new materials, and increased functionality. Recommendations about Air Force roles in micro- and nanotechnology research are presented including those areas in which the Air Force should take the lead. The report also provides a number of technical and policy findings and recommendations that are critical for effective development of the Air Force (TM)s micro- and nano-science and technology programMicrotechnologyUnited StatesNanotechnologyUnited StatesMilitary researchUnited StatesTechnology transferUnited StatesMicrotechnologyNanotechnologyMilitary researchTechnology transfer620.5National Research Council (U.S.) Committee on Implications of Emerging Micro- and Nanotechnologies.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910961836903321Implications of emerging micro- and nanotechnologies4354396UNINA
