A
big race for tiny research at North Texas universities
Abstract:
Executives and researchers at some of the
region's private companies and at UT-Arlington, the University of
Texas at Dallas and the University of North Texas in Denton are
determined to make North Texas a major player in this field. To do
that, the region must establish itself against leading
nanotechnology research institutes, such as Rice University in
Houston, and technological titans, such as those in Silicon Valley
in California and the greater Boston area, experts say. At stake are
billions of federal and investment dollars. China, Japan, Germany
and Russia are also in the nanotechnology race.
According to
Lux Research, nanotech funding totaled $18.2 billion in 2008, as
government spending ballooned to $8.4 billion, corporate funding
edged to $8.6 billion, and venture capitalists provided $1.2
billion.
To explain the potential of the science,
TechAmerica Texas Executive Director Jeff Clark recalls a scene in
the 1967 film The Graduate when a man advises Dustin Hoffman, the
movie's star, that the future is in plastics.
"Nano is the
plastics of our generation," said Clark, whose group represents
high-tech industries. "Plastics completely revolutionized everything
we do, everything we use. Nano is going to be revolutionary on an
even larger scale."
