Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Key Points: While one published human study has suggested a link between certain nanoparticles and adverse health effects, prudent manufacturers and importers should identify steps to ensure that they are reasonably and effectively minimising the dangers which may be more broadly associated with nanotechnology and nanoparticles. Nanotechnology, the science of the small, is a complex and constantly evolving technology with ... Read More »

A team of experts from a group of universities is currently about to embark on a new research initiative, which will approach the challenges of nanotechnology from a software perspective. The work is incredibly important, given the role that scientists and industry representatives have in stored for nanoscale devices and components. In the near future, nanotechnology will become an integrated ... Read More »

As cutting-edge nanomaterials move into the construction industry—promising fireproof windows and super-strong building walls—researchers must make a huge effort to understand how they could affect people and the environment, both now and long into the future, a new study recommends. The report, published last month in the scientific journal ACS Nano, reviews existing research on nanomaterials and concludes that while ... Read More »

Montreal, August 1st , 2010 – Photon etc., pioneer in Bragg based hyperspectral imaging, brings new possibilities to nanotechnologists with the introduction of a turn-key Resonant Raman Spectroscopy (RRS) System. The system uses a unique tunable notch filter able to block elastic scattering on a large wavelength range while maintaining a very high throughput. Coupled to state-of-the-art tunable laser, spectrograph ... Read More »
