NSF Renews Centers for Nanotechnology in Society

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently renewed two important cooperative agreements totaling more than $12.5 million over five years. These awards leverage previous investments for studying the ethical, legal, economic and policy implications of the relatively new, nature-altering science called nanotechnology. The Center for Nanotechnology in Society at Arizona State University received $6,507,000 over a five year renewal, while the ... Read More »

New Generation Reproductive Technologies (stem Cell-nanotechnology)

New Generation Reproductive Technologies (stem Cell-nanotechnology) I. Advances in Embryonic and Placental Development 1.Abstract: Early embryonic development needs detailed investigations if we have to reduce embryonic mortality. Embryonic mortality details have been reviewed (wani, 2005). The reproductive abnormalities have been discussed and a sequential photographic presentation of embryonic mortality have recently been published (Khatoon et al 2007). The critical period ...

Big continent and tiny technology: Nanotechnology and Africa

The August 2010 issue of NANO Magazine, highlighting nanoscale research expected to have a positive impact on the developing world, included articles focused on energy generation, disease prevention and water purification. The articles reflect a now-familiar pattern: a presentation of the horrific scope of the current problem (e.g., unclean water responsible for 6,000 deaths every day) followed by a report ...
