Quantum dots: get your free samples here!
A company spun out from the UK's University of Manchester has become the first in the world to produce and ship multi-gram quantities of quantum dots - and has launched a unique 'Free Evaluation Samples' program throughout the EU and UK. Using a patented process, Nanoco Ltd is not only able to ship its standard 'NanoDots' in production-level... view more... (2002-10-23)
'Nanoglassblowing' seen as boon to study of individual molecules
While the results may not rival the artistry of glassblowers in Europe and Latin America, researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and Cornell University have found beauty in a new fabrication technique called "nanoglassblowing" that creates nanoscale (billionth of a meter) fluidic devices used to isolate... view more...

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)
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)
Scientists advance safety of nanotechnology
Scientists have identified for the first time a mechanism by which nanoparticles cause lung damage and have demonstrated that it can be combated by blocking the process involved, taking a step toward addressing the growing concerns over the safety of nanotechnology. view more (2009-06-11)
