A step ahead
I am very honored , Egypt will have a nanotecnology center with the famous International business machines.The question here what are the activities of this center?in AlAhram newspaper yesterday they published that the center will cover only energy (photovoltaic and communications) but this sound not very good.

Nanotechnology has achieved the status as one of the critical research endeavors of the early 21st century, as scientists studies the unique properties of atomic and molecular assemblages built at the nanometer scale.
Our rule as a network is to co-operate together to achieve our scientific gools in all aspects and fields of nanotechnology and introduce its benefits to the Arabic socity.
The Nanoscientists
This network idea goes around establishing a network of students from their early stages in primary school till professors in universities and decision makers in industrial and social organizations for all who are interested in nanotechnology so we can bring up generations who can apply this innovative technology for the welfare of human being especially for those in the Arab and/or African region. This technology is the ideal one for poor countries which annoy from poverty, water problems, food problems and Information technology challenges. All these problems and more can be solved through this technology which needs just few resources to be applied. Educational and training programs as well as social workshops in preparation and application of nanomodels must be organized after categorization of all who would like to join this network either as trainers, trainees, volunteers and sponsors to achieve the goal of establishing a collaborative network of all those who can make any role to apply nanotechnology.
we are establishing now Nakaa Nanotechnology Network Nanoscientists Database. It contains 2 categeories:
Category 1:
Nanoexperts which have worked or studied nanotechnology and nanoscience in all scientific fields
Category 2:
Those interested to study and work in nanotechnology and have no pervious experience
If you are really interested to join our network database, please send the following to our email:
nakaa.nanotechnology.network@gmail.com
1. your CV
2. your job descripition
3. brief description for your nanotechnology activity if present (Category 1)
4. brief description for field of interest in nanoscience or nanotechnology (Category 2)

Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Global warming is already taking place and has become the biggest challenge of our time. The challenge is to find ways for the world to switch from a path of increasing emissions to a path of more high advanced technologies (nanotechnologies) where the majority of the GHG emissions are eliminated. [91] The concept of green buildings is mainly the idea of how to save energy consumption in buildings and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. [1] Buildings have a significant impact on energy use and environment. Commercial and residential buildings use almost 40% of the primary energy and approximately 70% of the electricity in the United States (EIA 2005). The energy used by the building sector continues to increase, primarily because new buildings are constructed faster than old ones are retired. Electricity consumption in the commercial building sector doubled between 1980 and 2000, and is expected to increase another 50% by 2025 (EIA 2005). [2] The Kyoto Protocol (2005) is a protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), aimed at fighting warming. The objective of the Kyoto climate change conference was to establish a legally binding international agreement, whereby all the participating nations commit themselves to tackling the issue of global warming and GHG emissions. The target agreed upon was an average reduction of 5.2% from 1990 levels by the year 2012. [3] The 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference, commonly known as the Copenhagen Summit, The document recognized that climate change is one of the greatest challenges of the present day and that actions should be taken to keep any temperature increases to below 2°C. The document is not legally binding and does not contain any legally binding commitments for reducing CO2 emissions. The implementation of the Copenhagen Accord will be reviewed by 2015. This will take place about a year-and-a-half after the next scientific assessment of the global climate by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). [4]

Although the title seems very interesting, no results are being mentioned. Is it just a literature survey or the researcher did some work and showed the promicing future of this trend.
