Mapping Nanotech
The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars's Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies and The Pew Charitable Trusts created a map powered by Google Maps showing the location and types of nanotechnology appearing in the United States. The map is interactive and searchable, providing both a broad-based look at where and what kind of nanotech is developing as well as point specific operations.
First impressions show the bulk of nanotechnology located on the coasts, however, note an increased nanotech presence in the Midwest/Great Lakes region. Not surprisingly, the focus is on materials and electronics as the industries of choice.
Oh, and its fun to play with.
