Worldwide nanotechnology programs
Study Nanotechnology Email | Print
There are many countries with universities offering nanotechnology degrees. Because nanotechnology is so new, universities around the world are just beginning to offer programs for undergraduates and graduate students. Some programs are offered in conjunction with an engineering degree, or or an optional concentration within an engineering or science degree. [...]
US: University Education Nano Degrees
Choosing a course of study for work in nanotechnology? Will it be chemistry, physics, engineering, biology, IT or other technology fields?
I want people who are very deep in their discipline and can talk to each other.
Stan Williams, Director, Quantum Science Research, Hewlett Packard
Highly regarded researcher Stan Williams says that students often ask him what they [...]
The Future of Medicine Using Nanotechnology ? Really Cutting-edge
Cutting-Edge News Room
If we all are right to begin with, that a raw food diet is best, then the future of medicine, reliant on nanotechnology… would not be necessary. What?
An article published in Advances in Anti-Aging suggests diseases and poor-health are largely the result of damage that occurs at the molecular level of the body, [...]
Nanotechnology, Particle Physics and Black Holes
There are many unusual and exotic ways for the human race to fall extinct. Some are currently out of our reach, and nearly all are out of our control.
As well as these various accepted and relatively widely-known risks to the continued survival of the human animal, there are plenty of more obscure dangers that [...]
Great Things Come in Small Packages: Nanotechnology and Energy
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 [...]
Nanotechnology In Computer System
Computer of the future will use atoms rather than chips for memory. That could be a simplified way of announcing that inside the following couple of years, we should expect miniaturization to go into the atomic level to bring to the patron and the office more power PCs that need noticeably less power and possess [...]
Nanotechnology could revolutionise our lives
Some people believe a future planet full of microscopic machines and microscopic agents in food or packaging could be a good thing. Nanobots might save countless lives in surgery, nanopackaging could make food cheaper and last longer, feeding millions. But like any new technology, there may be risks. According to Wikipedia, ‘nanotech’, is the study [...]
Nanonuisance? Nanotechnology could revolutionise our lives, but some people are concerned by the darker undercurrents.

Nanotechnology and the Emphatic Computer
People show their emotions in many diverse and specialized ways, some of which a computer can be programmed to detect. By employing nanotechnology, a camera and image analysis software, some computers are able to observe a user’s body language and, with proper programming can accurately interpret a person’s posture, restlessness and various facial expressions like [...]
24 questions and answers on nanotechnology safety
ell I guess I set myself up good and proper – I should have realized that in asking people for their questions on nanotechnology safety last week, they would actually want answers!
Having failed miserably to compile a catalog of websites that provide clear and concise answers to the questions asked in last week’s blog (I [...]
Nanotechnology Research
Did you know that nano-materials can be found in tennis racquets, water shorts, foot powder, sunscreen and over 580 other consumer products? Well-known brands like Samsung, Chanel, Black & Decker, L.L. Bean, Lancome and L’Oreal are just a few of the companies doing nanotechnology research. “The use of nanotechnology and nano-materials in consumer products and [...]
Molecular Imaging Overview
What is molecular imaging? Molecular imaging is the visualization, characterization, and measurement of biological processes at the molecular and cellular levels in humans and other living systems.
Molecular imaging typically includes 2- or 3 dimensional imaging as well as quantification over time. The techniques used include radiotracer imaging/nuclear medicine, MRI/Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy, optical imaging, ultrasound and [...]

How Nanotechnology Can Help Fight Terrorist Attacks
Attacking the water supply is not new. In times of war it has been a method used for thousands of years, with besieging armies poisoning the water supply of cities, trying to weaken and kill the defenders.
Not a pleasant image but one that resonates to this day. Water supplies are major targets for terrorists who [...]
Nanotechnology Breakthroughs
“Nanotechnology is already starting to affect our lives, and it’s anticipated that over the next 20 years it’s going to have major impact on everything around us,” says Wendy Crone, an engineer at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Nanoscience, she explains, looks at objects and devices that are smaller than a red blood cell. At that [...]

When Nanotechnology meets Epigenomics
The nanotechnology and epigenomics fields are barely 10 years old. Both show enormous future potential. An important application has recently emerged that involves both of them as pointed out in a recent research announcement New DNA Test Uses Nanotechnology to Find Early Signs of Cancer.
I have discussed DNA methylation several times before. See [...]
The next big thing?
Advances in such fields as energy and medicine are poised to have transforming impacts in the next decade on the way we live.
Probably no technology has transformed the first decade of this century more than mobile devices, which thrived with the advent of widespread wireless coverage and increasingly powerful and tiny computers.
Be it an iPhone, [...]
Nanoparticles or No-No particles?
Could Nanoparticles Cause “Dramatic Mutations?”
Nanoparticles, hailed as the solution for everything from the next generation of micro-electronic gadgets to curing cancer, are poorly understood. When scientists first mastered the technology for creating and manipulating microscopic balls and tubes, toxicologists speculated that the tiny particles would have properties similar to the same chemicals on an every-day [...]
10 Ridiculous Ideas About Future of Mobile Phones

Big Developments In The World Of The Small (But Mighty)
Nanotechnology: the science of small. Can you imagine nanocars that drive with rotating buckyball wheels, delivering drugs or other reagents to specific parts of your brain? Though this isn’t possible yet, it is a scenario whose time will come. Already, nanotechnology researchers can design roadmaps on a DNA scale, and particles that can circulate in [...]
Are we invited to the nanotechnology party?
Huge research funds are devoted to nanotechnology as it promises to transform many aspects of our lives. There are several phases to the development of the science.
The first stage is the creation of passive nanostructures – think “paint” or “additives”. Next comes the creation of nanostructures that perform primitive functions – think “transistor”. After that [...]
