Similarly, in Japan a number of priority areas for research have been identified, many of which involve AMO science-the atomic physics of multiply charged ions, activation of small inert molecules, theory of chemical reactions, carbon clusters, ultrafast and ultraparallel optoelectronics, and tunneling characteristics of individual atoms. As has been experienced in previous efforts to compare AMO science in the United States with that in other countries, the differences in infrastructures, funding methodologies, and political climates make the task of obtaining quantitative results most daunting.

The United States leads Japan in sensor technology, medical devices and diagnostics, high-performance computing, and flexible computer-integrated manufacturing. The DOC report rates the United States ahead of Europe in all categories except digital imaging technology, a category in which the United States also lags Japan.
