The U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, in Madison, says it’s opening a $1.7 million pilot plant that will support an emerging market for wood products derived from nanotechnology. The products could be stronger than Kevlar and lighter than fiberglass or carbon fiber. Those attributes have caught the attention of companies in the automotive, aerospace, electronics and medical-device industries as well as ... Read More »

Photo: An artist’s impression of carbon nano-tubes, which some fear are hazardous. (Swiss Nanoscience Institute) The ABC’s revelations that some sunscreen brands are inaccurately promoting themselves as nanotechnology-free have prompted calls for better regulation of nano-materials. But the push for a mandatory register has suffered a blow, with a Federal Government report labelling it questionable. The Australian Council of Trade ... Read More »
