The National Intelligence Council (NIC) is interested in disruptive technologies that have the potential to cause a noticeable, even if temporary, degradation or enhancement in one of the elements of US national power (geopolitical, military, economic, or social cohesion). According to the NIC, the six disruptive technologies most likely to enhance or degrade US national power in 2025 are in the areas of: Biogerontechnology; Energy Storage Materials; Biofuels and Bio-Based Chemicals; Clean Coal Technologies; Service Robotics; and the Internet of Things. Nanotechnology cuts across all of these.
