Assessing the Nature of Nanotechnology: Can We Uncover an Emerging General Purpose Technology
论文题名译名
评估纳米技术的性质：我们能发现一种新兴的通用技术吗
摘要
Attention has increasingly shifted towards the long-run perspective on technological innovation, which suggests that progress comes in waves, each one originating with a major breakthrough or general purpose technology (GPT). This paper seeks to assess whether nanotechnology is likely to be (or become) a GPT, a characteristic that other researchers have sometimes assumed though not necessarily documented. Based on a survey of existing literature, this paper will explore the extent to which nanotechnology addresses three primary characteristics of a GPT: pervasiveness, innovation spawning, and scope for improvement. The paper draws on patent and patent citation databases to highlight the types of quantitative and qualitative information that would be necessary, and in some instances is still lacking, to characterize fully the nature of nanotechnology.
中文摘要
人们的注意力越来越多地转向技术创新的长期视角，这表明进步是一波接一波的，每一次都源于一项重大突破或通用技术（GPT）。本文试图评估纳米技术是否有可能成为（或成为）GPT，这是其他研究人员有时假设的一个特征，尽管不一定有记录。基于对现有文献的调查，本文将探讨纳米技术在多大程度上解决GPT的三个主要特征：普遍性、创新性和改进范围。该论文利用专利和专利引文数据库来强调定量和定性信息的类型，这些信息对于充分表征纳米技术的性质是必要的，在某些情况下仍然缺乏。
