Abstract:
British parliamentarians gave their country’s government a failing grade in nanotechnology in a report entitled “Too little too late? Government Investment in Nanotechnology.” In the report, released in April 2004, the House of Commons’ Science and Technology Committee charged that Britain’s Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) had failed to support nanotech appropriately and that the country’s businesses, particularly small- and medium-sized ones, were painfully unaware of nano’s possibilities.
