Nanotechnology oversight requires thinking outside the box
With hundreds of nanotechnology-enabled products already on the market and many more in the commercial pipeline, a new report by a former senior Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) official urges policymakers to give greater attention to the challenges of crafting an oversight system that can effectively address health and safety issues... view more...

New coating is virtual black hole for reflections
Researchers have created an anti-reflective coating that allows light to travel through it, but lets almost none bounce off its surface. At least 10 times more effective than the coating on sunglasses or computer monitors, the material, which is made of silica nanorods, may be used to channel light into solar cells or allow more photons to surge... view more...

Water flows like molasses on the nanoscale
A Georgia Tech research team has discovered that water exhibits very different properties when it is confined to channels less than two nanometers wide - behaving much like a viscous fluid with a viscosity approaching that of molasses. view more (2007-04-25)
Toward world's smallest radio: nano-sized detector turns radio waves into music
Researchers report development of the world's first working radio system that receives radio waves wirelessly and converts them to sound signals through a nano-sized detector made of carbon nanotubes. view more (2007-10-18)

New Hybrid Nanostructures Detect Nanoscale Magnetism
A key challenge of nanotechnology research is investigating how different materials behave at lengths of merely one-billionth of a meter. When shrunk to such tiny sizes, many everyday materials exhibit interesting and potentially beneficial new properties. view more (2008-12-09)
EPA foregoes opportunity to improve nanotechnology oversight
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released its current thinking on whether a nanoscale material is a "new" or "existing" chemical substance under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). view more (2007-07-13)
Asian Breakthrough for Swedish Nanotech Company
Nanofactory Instruments, a spin-off company from Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden, has recently had a breakthrough in Asia. Through two very prestigious contracts from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology and Beijing University, both world leading nanotech research centres, the Swedish nanotech start-up... view more...

Expert says nanotechnology should look to Mother Nature
Professor Richard Jones of the University of Sheffield has today outlined the possibilities of using nature's secrets to develop nanotechnology, and casts doubt on some popular assumptions about the science, including the premise that we may create nano-robots with the power to reduce the world to 'grey goo'. Professor Jones is internationally... view more... (2004-08-11)
Heavier hydrogen on the atomic scale reduces friction
Scientists may be one step closer to understanding the atomic forces that cause friction, thanks to a recently published study by researchers from the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Houston and the U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. view more (2007-11-05)
