Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

THE Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology (SIMTech), a research institute of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), launched the Nanotechnology in Manufacturing Initiative (NiMI) today. Supported by International Enterprise (IE) Singapore, Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB) and SPRING Singapore, this initiative explores nano-materials for industry applications and addresses challenges in the adoption of nanotechnology for manufacturing. To date, ... Read More »

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) 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 ...

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 ...

Boffins at the Nokia Research Centre this week showed off futuristic gadget concepts they’ve been working on in the three years since initial launch of the Morph concept. Morph suggests that future mobile devices might be stretchable and flexible, allowing the user to transform the gadget into radically different shapes. Nanotechnology would enable the ultimate functionality delivering flexible materials, transparent ... Read More »

A revolutionary new spherical nanostructure, fully derived from very simple organic elements, yet strong as steel, has been developed and characterized at the laboratories of Ehud Gazit of Tel Aviv University and Itay Rousso of the Weizmann Institute of Science. Lightweight and exceptionally strong, easy and inexpensive to produce, friendly to the environment and biologically compatible, these promising bio-inspired nano-spheres ... Read More »

An $18 million research program headed by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis will research therapies and diagnostic tools that use nanotechnology to treat heart and lung diseases. The award, from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, will fund five years of research at Washington University and four collaborating institutions: Texas A&M University, University of Texas Southwestern ...
