Nanotechnology Law & Business

For years, NanoLab was home to Nanotechnology Law & Business (NLB) — a journal covering the regulation, intellectual property, and commercialization of nanotechnology. Its articles examined the questions that still define deep-tech today: how emerging technology should be governed, how patents shape who captures its value, and how science moves from the lab to the market.

The journal’s individual article pages are no longer hosted in their original form. This page preserves the record and the references that point to NLB’s work.

Articles referenced from NLB

The following NLB articles are cited across the web, including in academic and reference sources. Titles are preserved here for citation continuity; rights to the original articles remain with their respective authors and publisher.

  • “Nanobiotechnology Regulation: A Proposal for Self-Regulation with Limited Oversight”
  • “Nanotechnology Innovation and the Patent Thicket: Which IP Policies Promote Growth?”
  • “Anticipatory Governance and Anticipatory Life Cycle Assessment of Single Wall Carbon Nanotube Anode Lithium-ion Batteries”
  • “EPA Issues Stop Sales Order for Unregistered Food Containers Containing Nanosilver: What Are the Implications?”

Where this work continues

NanoLab now covers the same intersection — science, business, and policy — across the full range of deep-tech fields. The themes NLB pioneered run directly into today’s work:

  • IP & regulation of emerging technology — the patent and governance questions, now spanning semiconductors, biotech, advanced materials, and climate tech.
  • R&D funding — how research-intensive companies finance the long road from discovery to product. See the R&D funding guides.
