I've been working with graphene for over a year now, and before that I was working with photonic nanostructures. For me the transition from nano to graphene was natural. After the initial excitement and a period of learning that comes with a new job, I've recently started to follow my old nano-community again. Although to me it has seemed that the fields of nano and graphene are intertwined, I have now started to think that maybe they are two different worlds. So I think this is the proper…

Dear Experts,

European Nanofutures Roadmap is public now, we will appreciate that you participate yourself in the survey, and also , very important, that you disseminate it among your network in events, direct emails, tools 2.0, etc. The survey doesn’t take long to fill it in and there is also the possibility of attached a document with more comments. Please find it at:

Background

Biosynthesis of nanoparticles has received increasing attention due to the growing need to develop safe, time-effective and environmentally friendly technologies for nano-materials synthesis. This paper reports the one pot green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using the leaf bud extract of a mangrove plant, Rhizophora mucronata and their antimicrobial effects against aquatic pathogens. Highly stable AgNPs were synthesized by treating…

Funding will be offered to innovative projects focusing on commercially relevant Manufactured NanoMaterials (MNMs) in one of the following thematic fields:

1. Establishment and development of models and methods for analytical tools, theoretical prediction, and characterization

2. Exposure assessment

3. Studies on Impacts of MNMs on environment

4. Studies on properties and effects of MNMs

Detailed description of the topical fields is given in the Call…

"spongy" nanomaterial may change the way to monitor water quality

A group of researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique (EP) in Palaiseau, near Paris, have developed a tiny film that could speed up the process dramatically. The "nano-factor" is within the film itself: billions of nanopores per square cm that trap metals like a sponge, making them immediately available for analysis. Their new system is portable, provides immediate results, and therefore may change the way we monitor water…

MARKETS, MARKETING AND NANOTECHNOLOGICAL OUTPUT

Marketing is often perceived as a market study – the study, which is certainly intended to ensure the highest possible volumes of goods sales. You either try to position your commodity as an “isolated” one at the existing market or you try to capture a new market niche. However, this marketing perception is not quite accurate. In fact, there is probably no precise definition everybody would agree to – except for the most common and…

Modern biotechnologies increasingly require devices capable of moving around single biomolecules, cells and other micro-objects. The first appliance of the kind, laser optical forceps, was developed by the group led by Arthur Ashkin, an American physicist, back in 1986; more new technical solutions emerge each year. A research group based at Saratov State Technical…
