New Study Of Nanotechnology - The Small-scale Science
The Government has today launched a new independent study to examine in detail the benefits and risks of nanotechnology. The technology involves working with materials on the nanoscale - 80,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. Nanotechnology has the potential to improve our health and wealth but it is important that any necessary... view more... (2003-06-11)
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...

Purifying nanorods: Big success with tiny cleanup
Chemists at Rice University have discovered a novel method to produce ultra-pure gold nanorods -- tiny, wand-like nanoparticles that are being studied in dozens of labs worldwide for applications as broad as diagnosing disease and improving electronic viewscreens. view more (2008-09-23)
Nanotech and synbio: Americans don't know what's coming
A groundbreaking poll finds that almost half of U.S. adults have heard nothing about nanotechnology, and nearly nine in 10 Americans say they have heard just a little or nothing at all about the emerging field of synthetic biology, according to a new report released by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies (PEN) and Peter D. Hart Research. view more (2008-09-30)
Federal research plan to determine nanotech risks fails to deliver
Almost a year in the making, a federal plan to prioritize research on the potential environmental, health, and safety (EHS) impacts of nanoscale materials has so many failings that its begs the question as to whether the government's 13-agency nanotechnology research effort is able to deliver an effective risk research strategy. view more (2007-09-14)
Nanotech safety high on Congress' priority list
The House Science and Technology Committee today introduced legislation that highlights the growing attention on Capitol Hill to the need to strengthen federal efforts to learn more about the potential environmental, health and safety (EHS) risks posed by engineered nanomaterials. view more (2009-01-16)
New microscope boost for UK nanotechnology research
A powerful new microscope, currently available only in three universities in Europe and the USA, will position Britain as a leading centre for nanomaterials, researchers announce today. view more (2004-12-14)
Nanotechnology: not just for geeks
Say "nanotechnology," and geeks imagine iPhones, laptops and flash drives. But more than 60 percent of the 580 products in a newly updated inventory of nanotechnology consumer products are such "un-geeky" items as tennis racquets, clothing, and health products. view more (2007-10-03)
It's the small things in life that matter most !
Research into Nanotechnology has received a boost of £18 M to set up new research collaborations in this area. The money is split between two consortia one in bionanotechnlogy led by Oxford University, with the Universities of Glasgow and York, and the National Institute for Medical Research. This collaboration also involves links with the... view more... (2001-06-14)
Life cycle assessment essential to nanotech commercial development
Life cycle assessment (LCA) —a cradle-to-grave look at the health and environmental impact of a material, chemical, or product—is an essential tool for ensuring the safe, responsible, and sustainable commercialization of nanotechnology, U.S. and European experts conclude in a new report issued today. view more (2007-03-21)
National Nanotechnology Initiative releases new strategic plan
A new strategic plan for the work of the National Nanotechnology Initiative has just been released by the interagency Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council's Committee on Technology with support from the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO). view more (2008-01-03)
Nanotechnology provides 'green' path to environmentally sustainable economy
As products made with nanometer-scale materials and devices spread to more industries and markets, there is a growing opportunity and responsibility to leverage nanotechnology to reduce pollution, conserve resources and, ultimately, build a "clean" economy, advises a new report from the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies. view more (2007-04-26)
MC2 at Chalmers foremost among Sweden`s semiconductor laboratories
The three largest semiconductor laboratories in Sweden have been evaluated by international experts, and MC2 at Chalmers University of Technology has received the highest rating. "This confirms my conviction that we`ve got the best equipped process lab of any university in the world," says the director of MC2, Professor Olof Engström. He... view more... (2002-06-26)
