The importance of R&D alliances to sustain a nano-biotechnology ecosystem
The breakthroughs in nanoelectronics, nanotechnology and biotechnology are resulting in a growing convergence of nano with bio, as they both ‘work’ at the nanoscale. Think e.g. of nanotherapeutics, where nanoparticles, loaded with drugs, can be [...]
Leveraging the Nation’s Nanotechnology Research Centers: True interdisciplinary buildings foster a seamless transition from lab bench to consumer
Successfully fostering emerging technologies requires diligence in continually assessing and evolving best practices resulting in process improvements. While nanotechnology is in many ways still considered an emerging field, it is rapidly becoming the corner stone [...]
Bridge a Gap between Nanotechnology R&D, Business and Public
Sekiy M., An S., Ishizu S., National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), JP
I outline a new research project “Research on use of information and communication for facilitating public acceptance”. This project is one of the research components in a new research program “Developing knowledge-based platform to support [...]
Europe’s First Institute of Piezoelectric Materials & Devices
The European ‘Multifunctional Integrated Devices’ Network of Excellence is taking piezoelectric technologies into the industrial mainstream. It has successfully created the European Institute of Piezoelectric Materials and Devices with a founding membership of multidisciplinary researchers [...]
NanoEnergy- Technological and economical impact of nanotechnology on the energy sector
In respect of narrowing fossil energy resources and potential side effects of climate warming carbon dioxide emissions it becomes obvious that for a sustained longterm economical prosperity a fundamental renewal of the energy sector will [...]
MEMS and NEMS research for education
The paper describes methods of active involvement of students in research work and application of research work results in educational process. Individual tasks are parts of solutions of large research projects. Individual work contributes to [...]
Designing the new engineer and scientist
Bio-nano science and technology is reaching a high level of technical expertise and knowledge. It opens up completely new ways of design, production and manufacturing. It has the capacity to impact the whole industry, the [...]
