• Abstract: Incorporating existing knowledge is vital for innovating, discovering, and generating new ideas. Knowledge production through research and invention is the key to scientific and technological development. As an emerging technology, nanotechnology has already proved its great potential for the global economy, attracting considerable federal investments. Canada is reported as one of the major players in producing nanotechnology research. In this paper, we focused on the main drivers of knowledge production and diffusion by analyzing Canadian nanotechnology researchers. We hypothesized that knowledge production in Canadian nanotechnology is influenced by three key proximity factors, namely cognitive, geographical, and collaborative. Using statistical analysis, social network analysis, and machine learning techniques we comprehensively assessed the influence of the proximity factors on academic knowledge production. Our results not only prove a significant impact of the three key proximity factors but also their predictive potential.

  Recent advances in machine learning and AI are disrupting technological innovation, product development, and society as a whole. AI has contributed less to fundamental science in part because large data sets of high-quality data for scientific practice and model discovery are more difficult to access. Here we explore and investigate aspects of an AI-driven, automated, closed-loop approach to scientific discovery.

  Using a corpus of 3.8 million papers published between 1980 and 1999, we find that basic science papers and novel papers are substantially more likely to achieve direct technological impact. Further analysis that limits to papers with technological impact reveals that basic science and novel science have more patent citations, experience shorter time lag, and have impact in broader technological fields.
