Oregon could be a leader in green chemistry, which involves developing safer industrial chemicals, a new paper from Portland State University concludes. However, a “fragmented and uncoordinated approach” is holding the state back.   The University of Oregon’s Green Chemistry program and the Oregon Nanotechnology and Microtechnologies Institute, a collaboration of Oregon universities, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and industry, are ...

This week we get two very different perspectives on the state of nanotechnology and its development. On the one hand, we have the somewhat jaundiced view frim the UK-based New Scientist, which confesses to a fair amount of skepticism to just the mere idea of nanotechnology but wonders why the UK has seemingly dropped off the nanotech map. On the ... Read More »

I must confess to being rather saddened this morning to read Roger Highfield’s New Scientist blog on the state of nanotechnology in the UK.  Hot on the heels of reports that the company Nanoco is threatening to leave Britain for more fertile grounds, it left me wondering what has happened to the promise of ten years ago, when the UK ...

Proposals for assembling molecular machine systems from parts based on biopolymers usually take the approach of computationally designing proteins, RNA, or DNA molecules to serve as devices or as components of supramolecular systems. An alternative approach that has also been pursued is directed evolution in the laboratory (for example, this post from April, 2011 “Much faster directed evolution of proteins ... Read More »
