TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze the current temporal and spatial trajectories in nanotechnology research in order to display the worldwide patterns of scientific domains across main geo-economic players, which can provide vital findings to support new research and innovation policies to foster the development of these driving converging technologies for future patterns of economic growth.

TL;DR: Results show that biosensors, quantum dots, carbon nanotubes and nanomicelles have innovative applications in diagnostics and targeted therapies for cancers that have been generating a revolution in clinical practice.

TL;DR: Analysis of the evolutionary growth of scientific production and patenting, proxies of scientific and technological breakthroughs, of non-thermal plasma for biomedical applications in order to detect emerging technological trajectories shows high rates of scientific growth for applications ofNon-Thermal plasma in disinfection, anticancer treatments, and dermatology.

TL;DR: This work is centred on the issue of the time relations between science and technology/innovation, and in particular on the speed of transfer of science-generated knowledge towards its exploitation in patenting.

TL;DR: Copper-on-zirconia catalysts prepared by a solgel technique were found to have an activity in the decomposition of N 2 O comparable to that of Cu-ZSM-5, but a higher stability at high n 2 O concentrations as discussed by the authors.
