Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

NanoKTN’s ‘Nanotechnology for water’ workshop will explore ways in which nanotechnology can provide solutions to water treatment and purification including filtration, desalination and sensing. The NanoKTN ‘Econano’ focus group will develop an agenda to address environmental challenges such as remediation of water, air and materials sustainability. The Econano launch event will focus on nanotechnology awareness for the whole supply chain. ... Read More »

An interdisciplinary team of Drexel researchers have created the first endoscope that can probe an individual cell without causing harm – a discovery that could have wide-ranging scientific benefits, according to project coordinator Yury Gogotsi. Gogotsi is director of the A. J. Drexel Nanotechnology Institute as well as a materials science and engineering professor. The ability to inject single cells ... Read More »

RNA preparation in lab seems to be quite difficult because of RNase, an enzyme which cuts RNA instantaneously as this enzyme is everywhere and thus making the RNA a difficult task for researchers. Now researchers claim that they have developed a technique so that they can bypass the enzyme and thus can prepare a stable RNA molecule that has 3D ... Read More »

The Nanobusiness Alliance is the premier nanotechnology leadership group whose members are leaders in the field and have made significant contributions in the nanotechnology community. “Dave Arthur is a nanotechnology evangelist,” explains Vince Caprio, president of the Washington DC based Nanobusiness Alliance. “He is outspoken on the need for the U.S. to have a thriving nanotechnology industry and reduce its ...

Men, liberals and atheists are more optimistic about nanotechnology than women, lower educated and religious people. Policy makers tend to fit in the first category and hence are expected to be more optimistic than the general public. This is a result of the Nanomeasurement in the recent Dutch Societal Dialogue Nanotechnology. The nanomeasurement included not only health and environmental risks ... Read More »

The increasing consumption and diminishing reserves of fossil fuels will create significant issues for civilization, but energy efficiency can help mitigate the challenge – and advances in nanotechnology have a role to play. Reasonable adoption of six nano-enabled products, detailed in this week’s graphic, offershttp://www.luxresearchinc.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/gotw1_23_11.jpg the potential to reduce total energy consumption for the U.S., Germany, and Japan by as ...
