A new method that uses nanotechnology to rapidly measure minute amounts of insulin is a major step toward developing the ability to assess the health of the body's insulin-producing cells in real time. This could help in future forms of treatments that could be used to improve the efficacy of a new procedure for treating type [...]

Nanomaterials have a relatively larger surface area when compared to the same mass of material in bulk form, which can make the materials more chemically reactive and affect their strength or electrical properties. Additionally, quantum effects can begin to dominate the behavior of matter at the nanoscale, affecting the optical, electrical and magnetic behavior of materials. For example, metals with...

In his 1986 book, Engines of Creation , K. Eric Drexler set down the long-term aim of nanotechnology – to create an assembler , a microscopic robot that could construct products from a stock of atoms and molecules. For the last two decades, researchers who recognized the benefits of achieving molecular manufacturing have used top-down and bottom-up methods to develop molecular machines. The...

A while back Senior Associate Stuart Scott let us know that he had been selected to participate in a National Citizen's Technology Forum process on nanotechnology, sponsored by Arizona State and University of North Carolina, among other schools. Presumably this is funded by the social science budget of the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative, via [...]

Imagine wearing a shirt with fibers containing a special material that, when set into motion, generates electricity. Thus, a simple stroll down the street might generate enough power to run, say, a portable music player. This is one of many possible results from the study of tiny particles -- "nano" particles. read more

It wasn't market forces that landed a man on the moon; and It wasn't market forces that led France to build a nuclear energy infrastructure that now enables it to generate some 75% of its entire energy needs from nuclear power. But somehow, the leading political and industrial forces in the United States – together with China the largest emitter of greenhouse gases on the planet – think that a task...
