Dear Colleague !



Before the new issue of IFSA Newsletter (ISSN 1726-6017), No.5, May 2012 it is my great

pleasure to introduce new book Series 'Advances in Sensors: Reviews'. Why new book series ?

Perhaps you remember the popular, thirteen volume book Series 'Sensors Update' published

by John Wiley & Sons. Unfortunately, the last volume has been published in 2003. But sensor

science and industry are developing very quickly. In order to fill this gap, the…

The 13^th edition of the Trends in Nanotechnology International Conference (TNT 2012) to be held from the 10^th until the 14^th of September 2012 will be sponsored by the European Physical Society (EPS).

This high-level scientific meeting aims to present a broad range of current research in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (N&N) as well as related policies or other kind of…

Their findings are published in the May 27 online edition of the journal Nature Nanotechnology. "Platinum is very expensive and thus impractical for large-scale commercialization," said Hongjie Dai, a professor of chemistry at Stanford and co-author of ...…

If you live outside of Europe, you may be unfamiliar with the "EU Cookies" directive. It encourages websites to share in-depth details about the "cookies" they deposit on a user's machine when that user visits a website. These types of cookies are widely used by nearly all online services to help systems remember visitors and their preferences. They can be very useful at making a user's online experience more customized and personalized, but some people worry that consumers aren't being…

Five years ago, a unique initiative was launched through the Sri Lanka Institute of Nanotechnology (SLINTEC). The Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) which is a public-private partnership aimed at providing platform research solutions based on ...…

Nanotechnology leads to novel materials, new exposures and potentially unique health and environmental risks – or so the argument goes. But an increasing body of research is ...…

EU-funded researchers established a Network of Excellence (NoE) for membrane nanotechnology relevant to the medical sector that should enhance cooperation between research and small business. Membrane science and technology is an active ...…

In the past, I have tried to dispel the myth that nanotechnology could be waved over alternative energy applications to make them suddenly much more economically viable than they have been. In these efforts, I have even gone so far as to question the ...…

Using nanotechnology, with atoms as building blocks, we can build carbon structures capable of binding or transforming substances in desired ways," says Magnus Rønning. Carbon-based catalysis also offers environmental benefits.…

EU researchers extensively characterised the self-organisation of nanotubes and developed novel compositions particularly appropriate to solar energy conversion applications. Self-organized one-dimensional (1D) oxide nanotube systems are a hot research ...…
