Researchers have over time been able to show that medicine designed at nanoscale offers unprecedented opportunities for targeted treatment of serious diseases such as cancer.
However, now research also shows that the ...
The same properties that make engineered nanoparticles attractive for numerous applications-small as a virus, biologically and environmentally stabile, and water-soluble - also cause concern about their long-term impacts on environmental health and safety (EHS).
The rapid development of nanotechnology has increased fears about the health risks of nano-objects. Are these fears justified? Do we need a new discipline, nanotoxicology, to evaluate the risks?
Although drinking water is monitored more strictly than almost anything, our water supply network is still not immune to accidents, wear and tear or targeted attacks. A one-minute warning system for toxins and other substances in water hazardous to health could set off alarms in future if there is a danger.
Nanotechnology may promise miracles for humans, but it seems that it spells death for plants. There have been fascinating reports on how researchers are using particles that are 1/100,000 the width of a human hair to del...
Tiny particles used in a range of everyday products from computers to shampoo can adversely affect the lungs in very different ways, a study has shown.
Research by the University of Edinburgh suggests that industrial ...
Using particles that are 1/100,000 the width of a human hair to deliver drugs to cells or assist plants in fighting off pests may sound like something out of a science fiction movie, but these scenarios may be a common o...
EYP Architecture and Engineering PC (EYP) of Albany announced plans to establish and expand its headquarters and operations at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany. The move...
The White House is making efforts to garner public support for its plans for a $1.8 billion research and development program aimed at broadening the applications of nanotechnology.
The National Nanotechnology Initiati...
Reiterating its presence in the world of nanotechnology, Russia announced its plans for the establishment of an indigenous, full fledged nanotechnology branch on Wednesday. The announcement came from Russian President Dm...
