Human Resource Requirements
Estimated number of nanotech workers in 2014: 2 million Ratio of highly trained (researcher grade) to technician: 1:8
The world would need: Researchers (PhDs): 250,000 Trained nanotechies: 1,750,000
What should be our share? How are others preparing for it? Examples: Take a look at USA, China

Technology Examples
1. Nano-zinc ferrite layers as inductor core for GHz RF-CMOS
• Solution processing at <250oC, compatible with CMOS technology
• Uses safe complexes of Zn and Fe • Enables circuit performance up to 10
GHz, highest to date • “Ready” for 5 G, perhaps even 6 G
Mobile communications • Patent application filed • Scale-up Engineering under way; very
“green” process
