 The new nano experiment kit "SimplyNano 1" has been developed by the SimplyScience foundation together with The Innovation Society, St.Gallen. It contains teaching and learning materials, chemicals and laboratory materials for 8 exciting experiments from the world of

nanotechnology.



 Participants of the training courses will become familiar with simple, practice-relevant examples and experiments of the nano kit.

All participants obtain the nano kit for free.…

Modern sunscreens often contain nanosized mineral UV filters, e. g. titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. From an environmental perspective this is a particularly sensitive application since the nanoparticles exist unbound in these products and thus can be released into the

environment.



 In order to prove the possible environmental impact by nanomaterial containing sunscreens nanospecific adapted test guidelines and routine measurinig methods are necessary.

The recently published results of the Harris Poll show that nanotechnology awareness amongst Americans is still low. But there are surprising differences in opinion, information channel use and attitude towards the application of nanotechnologies in different areas.



 The poll was conducted by Harris Interactiv - a U.S. based research organisation - amongst 2'467 adults in the United States.

 Nanoscale titanium-dioxide may well be the most widely manufactured and used nanomaterial in the world. It is also one of the most widely studied. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has now issued a new nanoscale reference material for use in a wide range

of environmental, health and safety studies of industrial nanomaterials.



 The new NIST reference material is a sample of commercial titanium dioxide powder commonly known as “P25".

 The issue of "Working Safely with Nanomaterials" has not been discussed in vocational training and company-specific instruction so far, though, due to their enhanced properties nanomaterials are increasingly processed in the value chain of different industries.



 The new training and instruction module “Working Safely with Nanomaterials” closes this gap. The module was developed by Helmut Elbert in cooperation with different experts from Switzerland. It is available in German so…

A Kutatók Éjszakája központi programjának 2012-ben a Műjégpálya ad otthont. Szeptember 28-án természettudomány, orvostudomány, műszaki tudományok, társadalomtudomány és a bölcsészettudományok is mind a jégen lesznek – garantáltan úgy, ahogy általában nem találkozhatunk velük.

A felsőoktatási intézményekkel és kutató intézetekkel karöltve a Kutatók Éjszakáját immár hetedik alkalommal rendezi meg a Tempus Közalapítvány, idén új központi helyszínen, a Műjégpályán. Szeptember 28-án…

New York, 2012. szeptember 10., hétfő (MTI) - A szén nanocsövek új felhasználásáról számoltak be brit kutatók, akik igen nagy felbontású hologramot állítottak elő az eddig alkalmazott legkisebb pixelek segítségével.

    A brit Cambridge-i Egyetem…

Az MTA Természettudományi Kutatóközpont Műszaki Fizikai és Anyagtudományi Intézetben a boglárkalepkék kék színét adó nanoszerkezetek vizsgálatával foglalkozó kutatócsoport legújabb eredményét nemrég a Royal Society Interface című folyóiratában publikálták. Munkájuk eredményei korunk csúcstechnológiai kutatásainak egyik fő vonulatában hasznosíthatók, például a napsütésben is jól…
