Nanovip All things Nanotechnology – Nano Is The Futiure

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley has appointed Peter Searson and Steve Desiderio, two researchers from The Johns Hopkins University, to serve on a special task force to study the benefits of nanobiotechnology. According to the governor’s office, the mission of the task force is “to study the benefits of nanobiotechnology including job creation, the development of lifesaving treatments, reductions in health ...

Two research teams from London South bank University (LSBU) have received £ 1.5 million funds from European Union for developing innovative technology and clean energy nanotechnology research. The research projects will enhance the efficiency and will simultaneously reduce the overall environmental impact. The first project is about improving the cold storage equipments in Europe (ICE-E) and will be led by ... Read More »

If current news is any indication, Nanotechnology is poised to play a significant role in the development of clean, less expensive energy. The potential of nanotechnology for solving some of today’s greatest energy challenges is vast. Nanotechnology refers broadly to a field of applied science and technology whose unifying theme is the control of matter on the molecular level in ... Read More »

Nanotechnology for Automotive Lubrication How and why tungsten nanospheres work: To start, nano particles (spheres) are hard to imagine. So small, that they can interact with engine lubricant and other matter on a molecular level. This interaction allows them to become one with both the metal surfaces and the lubricant they are exposed to. The tungsten component is chemically inert, ... Read More »

Key Points: While one published human study has suggested a link between certain nanoparticles and adverse health effects, prudent manufacturers and importers should identify steps to ensure that they are reasonably and effectively minimising the dangers which may be more broadly associated with nanotechnology and nanoparticles. Nanotechnology, the science of the small, is a complex and constantly evolving technology with ... Read More »

A team of experts from a group of universities is currently about to embark on a new research initiative, which will approach the challenges of nanotechnology from a software perspective. The work is incredibly important, given the role that scientists and industry representatives have in stored for nanoscale devices and components. In the near future, nanotechnology will become an integrated ... Read More »

As cutting-edge nanomaterials move into the construction industry—promising fireproof windows and super-strong building walls—researchers must make a huge effort to understand how they could affect people and the environment, both now and long into the future, a new study recommends. The report, published last month in the scientific journal ACS Nano, reviews existing research on nanomaterials and concludes that while ... Read More »
