USA and China are two leading countries engaged in nanotechnology research and development. They compete with each other for fruits in this innovative area in a parallel and compatible manner. Understanding the status and developmental prospects of nanotechnology in USA and China is important for policy-makers to decide nanotechnology priorities and funding, and to explore new ways for global cooperation on key issues. We here present the nanoscience and nanomedicine research and the related productivity measured by publications, and patent applications, governmental funding, policies and regulations, institutional translational research, industrial and enterprise growth in nanotechnology-related fields across China and USA. The comparison reveals some marked asymmetries of nanotechnology development in China and USA, which may be helpful for future directions to strengthen nanotechnology collaboration for both countries, and for the world as a whole.
美国和中国是从事纳米技术研发的两个主要国家。它们在这个创新领域以平行且兼容的方式相互竞争成果。了解美国和中国纳米技术的现状和发展前景，对于政策制定者确定纳米技术的优先事项和资金投入，以及探索在关键问题上开展全球合作的新途径至关重要。我们在此展示中美两国纳米科学与纳米医学研究情况，以及通过出版物、专利申请、政府资金投入、政策法规、机构转化研究、纳米技术相关领域的产业和企业发展情况来衡量的相关生产力。比较结果揭示了中美两国纳米技术发展中一些显著的不对称性，这可能有助于为两国未来加强纳米技术合作指明方向，也有助于推动全球范围内的纳米技术合作。
