Report from the Nanoforum online survey on the European Strategy for Nanotechnology published today
Between August and October 2004 Nanoforum hosted an online survey, in cooperation with the European Commission, to determine the community's attitude towards all aspects of nanoscience and nanotechnology (N&N) development. view more (2004-12-17)
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)
Extensive Dutch nano cooperation launched
NanoNed has just been officially launched with the approval of the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs. NanoNed is a national research program that unites Dutch strengths in the nanosciences and nanotechnology in a single national network. Prof. David Reinhoudt from Twente University /MESA+ is the secretary of NanoNed, and Technology Foundation STW... view more... (2005-04-14)
Poll reveals public awareness of nanotech stuck at low level
National survey findings released today indicate that Americans' awareness of nanotechnology remains low. Popular awareness is nearly as small as the tiny nanoscale materials and nano-enabled devices and products now flowing onto the market from this rapidly progressing technology that experts believe will usher in a new industrial revolution. view more (2007-09-25)
Public must be involved in nanotech policy debate demands groundbreaking
Decision-making on science - especially emerging technologies such as nanotechnology - must become more democratic, a new report on science policy released today argues. view more (2009-09-28)
Consumers neutral on risks, benefits of nano
The largest and most comprehensive survey of public perceptions of nanotechnology products finds that U.S. consumers are willing to use specific nano-containing products - even if there are health and safety risks - when the potential benefits are high. view more (2006-12-06)
People in the US and the UK show strong similarities in their attitudes toward nanotechnologies
The results of a new U.S.-U.K. study published in this week's journal Nature Nanotechnology show that ordinary people in both countries hold very positive views of nanotechnologies and what the future of these technologies might bring. view more (2008-12-10)
Nanotech safety needs specific government risk research strategy and funding
"Prioritizing nanotechnology risk research isn't rocket science," said Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies chief scientist Andrew Maynard. Dr. Maynard's remark is in his testimony today before the federal government's first public meeting focused exclusively on research needs and priorities for the environmental, health and safety risks... view more...

Public attitudes to new technology: Lessons for regulators
New technologies may change our lives for the better, but sometimes they have risks. Communicating those benefits and risks to the public, and developing regulations to deal with them, can be difficult - particularly if there's already public opposition to the technology. view more (2009-09-21)
Beyond the hype and the scare stories, how safe are nanoparticles?
The May issue of Nano Today (www.nanotoday.com) launches a dedicated forum for debate on the effects of nanoparticles on human health. In "Nanotechnology: assessing the risks", Andrew Maynard of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars calls for a strategic approach to research on potential risks to ensure the development of... view more...

Nanoforum Education Catalogue for Higher Education in Nanotechnology
Nanoforum is pleased to announce the online publication of the "Education Catalogue" which is a complete handbook for people in the university system (professors, students, careers advisors). It provides information on all undergraduate, graduate, and short courses related to nanoscience and nanotechnology in the EU and associated... view more... (2005-02-18)
Ethical Evaluations of Nanotechnology
Recent action in Congress to reauthorize the U.S. federal nanotechnology research program offers the chance to address the social and ethical issues concerning the emerging scientific field, experts say. view more (2009-01-28)
New studies reveal differing perceptions of nature-altering science
Two new National Science Foundation (NSF)-sponsored research studies say public acceptance of the relatively new, nature-altering science of nanotechnology isn't a foregone conclusion. Instead, the studies indicate continued concern. view more (2008-12-12)
Former White House science advisor warns that nanotechnology's potential threatened
"Nanoscale science and engineering promise to be as important as the steam engine, the transistor, and the Internet, and have the potential to revolutionize all other technologies" according to Neal Lane, former science advisor to U.S. President Bill Clinton. "But that outcome is not guaranteed." view more (2006-12-06)
