The National Research Council said on Wednesday that in order to study the potential health hazards of nanotechnology, researchers will need to drum up an additional $24 million a year. The research council said in a study that a new federal oversight agency is also required to integrate research by private business, universities and international groups. Nanotechnology is being used in a fast …
London, Jan 27 (IANS) Sceintists are developing a nano-sized drug particle for organ transplant patients to eliminate its harmful side-effects, reveals a study.
According to a report released by the National Research Council (NRC), human and environmental safeties of nanomaterials remain uncertain despite the spending of billions of dollars in nanotechnology research and development over the past ten years.
DUBLIN–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Research and Markets ( http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/f7c1f0/nano_meets_macro [1] ) has announced the addition of the ” Nano Meets Macro: Social Perspectives on Nanoscale Sciences and Technologies [2] ” book to their offering. This book explores the enormous diversity in social perspectives on the emergence of nanoscale sciences and technologies. The diversity is presented by pointing to four nodes of interest, the nodes where Nano meets Macro: In the Making, In the Public Eye, In the Big Questions and In the Tough Decisions.

07-12-2010 12:30 ‘ In this film we’re heading deep into the world of nanoscience, down to the dimension of an atom. We will find out what tools scientists have developed to explore this new reality, opening up an apparently infinite field of research and practical applications. But what do we mean by nanotechnology?
Studying the potential health hazards of nanotechnology will require an additional $24 million a year to close the knowledge gap about the tiny particles used in a fast-growing array of consumer products, the National Research Council said on Wednesday.
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Studying the potential health hazards of nanotechnology will require an additional $24 million a year to close the knowledge gap about the tiny particles used in a fast-growing array of consumer products , the National Research Council said on Wednesday. A new federal oversight agency is also required to integrate research by private business, universities and international groups, the non-profit research council said in a study sponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency .

(PhysOrg.com) — A team of physicists from the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), the Neils Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, Denmark, and Harvard University has developed a theory describing how to both detect weak electrical signals and cool electrical circuits using light and something very like a nanosized loudspeaker. If demonstrated through experiment, the work could have a tremendous impact on …
A $70 million nano-biomedical-energy technologies facility tops the list of priorities for Carnegie Mellon University under a 10-year master plan that will serve as the blueprint for the school's growth. CMU expects to break ground on the 80,000-square-foot building this summer and have it ready for occupancy in 2015.
( University of California – Santa Barbara ) The Bren School-based authors of a study published Jan. 20 in the journal PLoS ONE have observed toxicity to marine organisms resulting from exposure to a nanoparticle that had not previously been shown to be toxic under similar conditions.
