Exposure is a key element in risk assessment of nanostructures. The environmental impacts of nanotechnology have become an increasingly active area of research. Until recently the potential negative impacts of nanomaterials on human health and the environment have been rather speculative and unsubstantiated.
However, within the past number of years several studies have indicated that exposure [...]

The heat is on for an online social networking community for nanoscientists. The Internet Nanoscience Community, TINC, was cooked up by Hungarian chemistry student Andras Paszternak. It now provides a rich menu of communication tools for the international community of scientists working in the growing field of nanoscience and nanotechnology and recently passed the 2000 [...]

Dr Larry Silverberg provides the full skinny on how the big guy in the red and white suit manages to deliver toys to good girls and boys around the world in a single night.

Silverberg is a North Carolina State University professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering so he should know. He explains that Santa and [...]

This monochromatic micrograph was painted and manipulated digitally and the final image printed on canvas with archival inks specially formulated to last for a long time.
NanoArt is a new artistic discipline at the art-science border. Contact the artist for more details. The depth and three dimensions achieved in NanoArt set this process of electron imaging [...]
