Since nanotechnology does not have any regulatory body as of now it is being said that this technology might be heading the biotechnology route and may even meet a similar fate. There seems to be no serious effort for creating awareness among the...
Here comes the world's first certifiable risk management and monitoring system for nanotechnologies.- this is Certifiable Nanospecific Risk management and Monitoring System or CENARIOS developed as a result of partnership between TUV Munich and...
This development will surely restore vision for millions of blind people around the world. In order to make this possible University of Texas researchers have been able to achieve the first direct electrical link between nerve cells and photovoltaic...
Danone, a French beverage company is working with the Queen's University for developing new polymer nanocomposites which will result in stronger plastic packaging along with reduced material waste. All this will be possible with the aid of...
Regarded as one of the biggest developments in the history of humans was the invention of the wheel which took place thousands of year ago. Scientists have been toiling for a number of years for designing of molecular machines equipped with wheels and...
Researchers had been struggling for almost ten years for building a tabletop X ray laser which could be implemented for biological and medical imaging but now a research team at the University of Colorado has created a new technique for generation of...
People traveling in oceans and seas know that Streptomyces avermitilis which is a microscopic fungus is quite poisonous to acorn barnacles and other crustaceans and it has been noted that when some of this fungus is added to the paint for hulls of...
Nanotechnology researchers of UC Berkeley have been successful in trapping molecules between sheets of gold and ultrafine gold tip of scanning tunneling microscope. The gold surface was heated and measured with the aid of microscopic tip. This showed...
A latest report by Investor Environmental Health Network states that investors who ignored health risks in cosmetics industry stand to lose. It is expected that improved health risk information, changes in European and U.S. regulation and increasing...
Now get fishing lures with a flavor of nanotechnology. ULVAC has created lures with a coating of polyimide film and it has a thickness of over several hundred nanometers which help in maintaining the shine of the lure irrespective of the viewing angle....
The energy sector has a lot to gain from nanotechnology. This technology is offering next generation systems which rely on micro generation of energy stored in thin film batteries and since it works on the dual side of the equation, solar and wind...
American scientists have stated that researchers should use green chemistry for reducing future risks from nanotechnology. Worldwide there seems to be a growing need regarding nanotechnology and various environmental and health impacts it can cause....
Nanotechnology could be instrumental in healing and repairing human body. Nanotechnology could soon be a part of biomechanics care. There are innumerable ways in which nanotechnology could contribute to biomechanics and in the times to come patients...
A professor at the Bourns College of Engineering has designed building blocks for memory devices with the help of telescoping carbon nanotubes something like high speed, low power microswitches. The designing would enable the use of binary or three...
