  The third Podcast in the Nanotechnology Victoria Series focuses on Nanotechnology investment and commercialisation and presents the views of six key stakeholders on the crucial issues around how Nanotechnology ... can be taken from the laboratory and translated into successful commercial outcomes. This podcast describes the experiences of people at different stages of the investment cycle and demonstrates that a key element for success is a big market opportunity, effective execution and a passionate team. In this edition of AZoNano News, as well as bringing you the latest news from the international Nanotechnology industry, we'll hear how nanotechnology is helping to prevent heart attacks, reducing the threat of friendly fire in battle and how new technology is helping to make building materials that repair themselves. In this week's interview AZoNano's David Freund talks with Tomas Bauer from Silex Microsystems about their capabilities and the future of MEMS and nanotechnologies.. In his   [More...] [Less...]

  WITH MORE nanotechnology-containing products hitting the market, the need for research on the environmental, health, and safety (EHS) impacts of these engineered nanomaterials is vital. And while more ... federal dollars are going into such research, experts agree that the lack of a common list of priorities is hampering assessments on the risk of this technology to the public and the environment. Now, both government and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are taking on this challenge by identifying nanotech EHS research priorities and developing strategies to get answers about relative risks and benefits of various nanotechnologies. But time is of the essence, and as the federal government plods toward a strategic plan, several NGOs have already released or are about to release strategic plans of their own, leaving some observers to question just how useful the federal strategy will end up being.   [More...] [Less...]
