Nuclear energy. In some countries this was crippled deliberately because of fear (perhaps due to association with nuclear weapons), and in other countries this seems to have been an accidental byproduct of safety culture aka the US or France are fairly gung-ho on nuclear but haven’t made any huge progress because of buerocracy.
Genetically modified organisms in Europe. Also seems to be fear oriented.
Research into the genetic basis of intelligence, which could help eg. polygenic screening. This screening is already very common in certain countries but there are limits on what they are allowed to do or even know.
