Career centers and technical centers prepare students to step into jobs in hundreds of vocations as diverse as aviation mechanics, culinary arts and restaurant management, law enforcement, video production and ... nanotechnology?

India - Electrification of homes in rural areas would no more be a distant dream.

National Science Week kicked off on Saturday with learners in the Western Cape receiving test tubes, measuring cylinders and thermometers to experiment and conduct tests with.

Three or four new nanotechnology-based consumer products hit the market every week, according to the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, but for the consumer, it's not always easy to know if an item contains nanoparticles.

An Arkansas nanotechnology company has been awarded $224,997 from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program to develop a green alternative to fluorescent lighting.

The bill moves the federal nanotechnology effort to the next stage:

The Institute of Nanotechnology ks delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Richard A.L. Jones FRS as the new Chairman of its Advisory Group.

Chris Rizik has an eclectic career.- By day, he is a lawyer and financier who cofounded Ardesta LLC, the $100-million venture capital fund in Ann Arbor that backs companies involved in nanotechnology.

Scientists from all over the world will meet in London on 28th and 29th May 2008 to discuss how nanotechnology can contribute towards reducing testing on animals.

Nanotechnology once was confined to the realm of science fiction, conjuring up visions of miniaturized submersibles coursing through the veins of medical patients, as in the ’60s sci-fi flick "Fantastic Voyage."

Nanotechnology is not one single thing. It’s a number of different areas which examine both materials and physics on the nanometer-length scale.

Want to gauge how hot a chilli is? Nanotechnology can help, says a new study. Scientists have turned to carbon nanotubes to accurately gauge the hotness of chillies - hitherto the job of professional food tasters.

Should cranial implants be used to enhance cognition? - This cranial chip features a data feed that puts information into the brain while the user is resting.

What are your thoughts on synthetically grown tissues and organs? - Using tissue printing technology, this system is able to build tissues with a vascular structure enabling the building of new organs.

At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway today there will be the roar of engines -- that is, if the rain holds off -- but also plenty of talk about academic topics like microbiology and nanotechnology.

Students will study nanotechnology at Tum University in Germany this summer

By focussing on fixing defects, the new method enables more precise shaping of microchip components

Analysis and diagnosis in a chip format are coming of age, but their practical application has been limited because until now, the sample usually had to be prepared separately and on a nonminiaturized scale. Jürgen Pipper and his team at the Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology in Singapore want to change this. They have now developed a rapid test for genetic diagnosis that combines the preparation of biological samples with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on one chip. As they report in the journal Angewandte Chemie, the “laboratory device” for all steps in this system is a single drop containing magnetic nanoparticles, which is moved across the chip by a magnetic field.

In the world of nanotechnology, good things come in really small packages
