f a meter. This huge collection of documents and papers from 18 federal agencies, departments, and laboratories provides in-depth knowledge about ongoing research activities and highlights the potential of this amazing new technology. The National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) provides a multi-agency framework to ensure U.S. leadership in nanotechnology, investing in fundamental research to further understanding of nanoscale phenomena and facilitates technology transfer. A report from the NNI states: "Imagine a single area of scientific discovery with the potential to enable a wealth of innovative new technologies across a vast array of fields including health care, information technology, energy production and utilization, homeland security and national defense, biotechnology, food and agriculture, aerospace, manufacturing, and environmental improvement. Nanoscience, the study of the unique properties of matter that occur at extremely small scales, has this potential. Advances in nanoscience and engineering are already ushering in new applications – or nanotechnologies – that are leading to improved products across a broad realm of sectors, from textiles to electronics. Nanotechnology promises breakthroughs that will revolutionize the way we detect and treat disease, monitor and protect the environment, produce and store energy, and build complex structures as small as an electronic circuit or as large as an airplane."There is full coverage of the medical-related research of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH). In addition, we have extensive material from every important federal agency and department investigating nanoscale technologies: National Science Foundation (NSF) * Department of Defense (DOD) * Navy Research Laboratory (NRL) * Energy Department (DOE) – various laboratories; Office of Science, Materials Science subprogram * National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) * U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) * Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) * Food and Drug Administration (FDA) * National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) * Centers for Disease Control (CDC).This incredible CD-ROM has over 16,000 pages reproduced using Adobe Acrobat PDF software - allowing direct viewing on Windows and Macintosh systems. Advanced search and indexing features are built into our reproduction, providing a complete full-text index. This enables the user to search all the files on the disk at one time for words or phrases using just one search command! The Acrobat cataloging technology adds enormous value and uncommon functionality to this impressive collection of government documents and material. (Material on this disc is also published under other titles including ISBN 1592482740.)Our news and educational CD-ROM and DVD-ROM discs are privately compiled collections of official public domain U.S. government files and documents - they are not produced by the federal government. They are designed to provide a convenient user-friendly reference work, utilizing the benefits of the Adobe Acrobat format to uniformly present thousands of pages that can be rapidly reviewed, searched by finding specific words, or printed without untold hours of tedious research and downloading. Vast archives of important public domain government information that might otherwise remain inaccessible are available for instant review no matter where you are. This book-on-a-disc format makes a great reference work and educational tool. There is no other reference that is as fast, convenient, c
