France: Post Doctoral position in molecular modelling

Post Doctoral position in molecular modelling for the separation chemistry (ICSM / LMCT, France) Description Separation processes performed for recycling of heavy metals commonly use liquid-liquid extraction for which ions are selectively transferred from an aqueous to an organised organic phase. Modelling such processes remains quite diffcult since many phenomena occur: complexation, solvation, electrostatic interactions, polarisation forces, etc. Furthermore, these ... Read More »

Nanoparticles’ effects on soils exposed

Nanotechnology can help solve many problems. But it is a technology that involves risks as well, for people and for the environment. In a PhD study conducted at Alterra Wageningen UR and Wageningen University, doctoral candidate Merel van der Ploeg explored the effects of nanoparticles on soils. Caution, it turns out, is still called for in nanotechnology’s use. Create Carbon ... Read More »

Nanotechnology set to revolutionize smart grid evolution

The definition of nanotechnology is simple: It’s merely technology that manipulates matter at the atomic level. When I think of nanotechnology, however, I often picture the complicated, such as a tidal wave of the tiniest of robots doing the greatest of medical work: repairing organs, binding skin. In essence, I envision a Philip K. Dick science fiction world of nano. ... Read More »
