The President’s 2025 Budget requests an all-time record of $2.2 billion.
This document is a supplement to the President’s 2025 Budget request submitted to Congress on March 11, 2024, and serves as the Annual Report for the National Nanotechnology Initiative called for under the provisions of the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act (15 USC §7501). The report also addresses the requirement for Department of Defense reporting on its nanotechnology
investments (10 USC §2358). Additional information about the NNI is available on the NNI website, https://www.nano.gov.
The President’s 2025 Budget requests an all-time record of $2.2 billion for the NNI, with a sustained
investment in foundational research that will fuel new discoveries and increasing investments in
application-driven R&D to advance technologies of the future and address national priorities.
Cumulative NNI funding since its inception in 2001 totals over $45 billion.
Cementing links between NNCI and DOD Microelectronics Common Hubs.
NSF-supported NNCI comprises 16 unique sites across 16 states with 13 partners providing 71 facilities and over 2000 tools to researchers from all areas of science and engineering; about 40% of those researchers each year are new users. Initial Commons funding was awarded to establish infrastructure and workforce development programs across critical areas like 5G/6G wireless technology, AI and hardware, commercial leap-ahead technologies, electromagnetic warfare, secure edge/Internet of Things (IoT) computing, and quantum technology.
Using nanostructures to enable novel scientific instrumentation.
Specialized physical tools are essential for continuing to push the frontiers of nanotechnology R&D. Building on earlier work on the use of superconducting nanowires as single photon detectors,152 researchers from NIST and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with support from DARPA, have built a superconducting camera containing 400,000 pixels—400 times more than any other device of its type. Superconducting cameras allow scientists to capture very weak light signals, whether from distant objects in space or parts of the human brain.
The NNI was formally authorized in the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act of 2003.
