To date, physicists, chemists, biologists, and engineers, among other scientists, have conducted basic and applied research using nanotechnological approaches to create nanomaterials used in foods, clothing and textiles, building materials, medicine, sports and recreational equipment, defense systems, and information transfer and security systems. Tissue engineering, in which fresh subcellular organelles, whole tissues, and vital organs are created, and self-healing, in which health restoration is guided by nanopharmaceuticals that use endogenous nutrients as building blocks to correct injury and illness, are possible through the self-assembly mechanisms of nanotechnology (Thandavamoorthy, Gopinath, & Ramkumar, 2006). Investigators are exploring nanotechnology applications in home...
This study examines how nanotechnology is expected to disrupt most industries. The primary methodology of this study involved comparing the current literature on developments in nanotechnology to the historical development of electricity to assess if the nanotech revolution is reaching a true "critical mass" based on acceleration of technological change today and at other times in history. Data was collected through nonintrusive observation by the second author from small to medium sized cities throughout the five regions of Oklahoma (NE, SE, SW, SE, and Central). It was found that the five regions of the state were responding differently to the advent of nanotechnology. Business leaders in the Central and NE were the most accepting of the needed strategic changes and embraced them open...
The Oklahoma Nanotechnology Applications Project application deadline is Wednesday for approximately $1.3 million in state money for research projects and business applications using nanotechnology. The Oklahoma Nanotechnology Applications Project was created by the Oklahoma Center for the Advancement of Science and Technology, known as OCAST, as a part of the Oklahoma Nanotechnology Sharing Incentive Act.
WASHINGTON and BRUSSELS, Feb. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) has developed the world's first certified nanoparticle reference material based on industry-sourced nanoparticles. This new material will help ensure the comparability of measurements worldwide, thereby facilitating trade, ensuring compliance with legislation and enhancing innovation. Nanotechnology offers a range of benefits over traditional materials and enables the development of innovative applications and products. However, there are often concerns about the safety aspects and to what extent these have been investigated. High-quality measurements are the basis for reliable safety assessments, process improvement, quality control and the development of new nanotech...
