Nanotechnology Promises Water Resource Gains but Raises Concerns

Some say a nanorevolution is at hand, perhaps not an overly zealous assessment considering the emerging pervasiveness of nanotechnology and its rapid pace of development. The water resource field is among those areas expected to benefit from nanotechnology, its application holding special promise for treatment and remediation; sensing and detection; and pollution prevention. That cuts a rather wide swath in ... Read More »
