Breaking Nanotech Ground

Two new groundbreaking scientific papers by researchers at UC Santa Barbara demonstrate the synthesis of nanosize biological particles with the potential to fight cancer and other illnesses. The studies introduce new approaches that are considered “green” nanobiotechnology because they use no artificial compounds. Luc Jaeger, associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at UCSB,...

International Collaboration is Route to Nanotechnology Investment

A Report published 31 August 2010 recommends international collaboration as best strategy for nanotechnology investment in Ireland. Read highlights here The research on which the report was based was commissioned by Forfas and undertaken by Lux Research, an independent global company providing intelligence for emerging technologies. Forfás is Ireland’s policy advisory board for enterprise,...

Nanotechnology is no longer a technology-in-waiting.

Nanotechnology is no longer a technology-in-waiting. It is already ubiquitous in its reach and effect. In this issue of NANO magazine, we look at many applications of nanotechnology to our everyday lives, and its promise for the future. For example, nanotechnology has great potential for architecture, and it is recognised that buildings are a major contributor to global warming. It is argued...

Novel nanotechnology collaboration leads to breakthrough in cancer research

Researchers clear hurdle on path toward gene-therapy treatment for disease. Structure of an adenovirus One of the most difficult aspects of working at the nanoscale is actually seeing the object being worked on. Biological structures like viruses, which are smaller than the wavelength of light, are invisible to standard optical microscopes and difficult to capture in their native form with...

Tyndall CEO welcomes Forf s report on the Commercialisation of Nanotechnology in Ireland

Dublin , August 31, 2010 Professor Roger Whatmore, CEO of Tyndall National Institute welcomed today the Forf s report on Ireland s Nanotechnology Commercialisation Framework 2010-2014. Speaking at the launch of the report, Professor Whatmore commended the Forf s report on its recognition of the importance of Nanotechnology as a powerful growth engine for the Irish economy. I welcome the report...

Sifting oil sands and GE nanotechnology

Canada houses 173 billion barrels of oil in a form supremely difficult to access. Extracting crude from a thick peanut-butter-like substance called oil sands takes time, costs money, uses excessive amounts of water and produces large amounts of CO2. General Electric (GE) Global Research, Niskayuna, N.Y., is taking on the oil sands with naturally occurring rocks called zeolites identified by the...

SabryCorp makes inroads into nanotechnology

CAIRO: The Egyptian nanotechnology market is high risk, but is only matched by its business opportunities, Mohamed Abdel-Mottaleb, chairman of SabryCorp, told Daily News Egypt in an interview. Seeing Egypt lag behind in the nanotechnology race, Abdel-Mottaleb saw an opportunity to bring it up to speed, he explained. Nanotechnology struck the entrepreneur as fascinating back in 1997, when he was...

Reducing Nanotechnology to “Vaporware”

I have to confess to getting more than a small chuckle from a recent blog entry from Scott Locklin, who reduces the entire enterprise of nanotechnology to 25 years of charlatanry. The criticism takes two forms. In one, the idea of labeling the surface and colloidal science “nanotechnology” is a bit bogus. Secondly, the Drexlerian vision of nanotechnology he characterizes as little more than...

Hong Kong researchers break new ground in nanotechnology

A pioneering study by researchers of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has shown that sandwiching a simple layer of silver nanoparticles can significantly improve the performance of organic transistors which are commonly used in consumer electronics. This revolutionary breakthrough is expected to cut down the cost of memory devices such as touchscreens and e-books and improve their...

Rethinking nanotechnology

Back in July, the US National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) posted a Request For Information in the Federal Register for input to the next NNI strategic plan – to be published later this year.  The closing date for comments was a couple of weeks ago now.  I got mine in in the nick of time.  My responses to the seemingly endless questions asked by the White House Office of Science and Technology...

Georgia Tech prepares for 2035

Georgia Tech students may learn in virtual classrooms, with avatars of themselves “sitting” in the class. Students and professors will work to solve the world’s problems using new areas of study. The institute will expand globally, while also taking on a larger role in Atlanta. These are just a few aspects of the strategic vision Georgia Tech President G.P. “Bud” Peterson...
