In this work, several instances, in our two-decade principal research, of both experimental observation and conceptual prediction concerning nanophotonics NDM are reconsidered towards outlining a global potential for the appearance of the effect. %K Nanophotonics %K Two-Dimensional Electron-Gas %K Semiconductor-Device Nanointerface %K Negative Differential Mobility %K Optoelectronics Nanotechnology %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=8981
