The report discusses how the most promising developments for national security in the nanotechnology area will likely come from government research, and how the U.S. government needs to adopt new legislation and policy innovations, including promoting long-term research, distributing federal grants more widely, and promoting scientific travel and exchanges to maintain a supply of skilled experts. Over the long term, the government should remove capital and regulatory barriers to lower the cost of research and emerging technologies and should address safety and environmental issues. The report discusses the potential military applications nanotechnology could be used in, current research being done, and was of harnessing the power of the private sector to realize these national security goals within the emerging field of nanotechnology </style></abstract></record></records></xml>
