When you're searching in Google, you can limit your search results by specific domains such as .edu (academic websites), .gov (government websites), .mil (military websites), .org (non-profit websites).
How to do it: after your search terms just add a colon : and then the domain you want to see in the results. Websites from these domains tend to have reliable content - but always use the evaluation techniques for any website!
Example search: nanotechnology market site:.gov -- this search will only show .gov websites
