The Administration has requested $495 million for nanotechnology research, a $225 million increase over FY2000. Nanotechnology is a newly emerging field of science where scientists and engineers are beginning to manipulate matter at the molecular and atomic level. Proponents argue that nanotechnology will lead to a new industrial revolution in the 21st century. Scientists note that nanotechnology is still in its infancy, with large scale practical applications 10 to 20 years away. Congressional concerns center around why the Administration requested such a large increase for the NNI, the extent to which the newly established Nano Coordinating Office can successfully fulfill its multi- agency planning and coordinating responsibilities, and what role the federal government should play in ensuring that nanotechnology fulfill its long-term potential broad- based commercial applicaitons. While the Administration requested an 84% increase for nanotechnology, Congress approved a 56% increase($422 million), or %151 million above the FY2000 $271 million finding level.
