When most people think of nanotechnology the first thing to come to mind may be an image out of the movie Fantastic Voyage or of the theoretical “nanorobots”

Researchers at Wake Forest University are using nanotechnology to search for new cancer-fighting drugs through a process that could be up to 10,000 times faster than current methods.

Scientists who have pursued dark matter, hunted for undiscovered planets and advanced nanotechnology were being touted Monday as candidates for the 2008 Nobel Prize in physics.

UCLA scientists have succeeded in making unique nanoscale droplets that are much smaller than a human cell and can potentially be used to deliver pharmaceuticals.

In a step toward developing better fuel cells for electric cars and more, engineers at MIT and two other institutions have taken the first images of individual atoms on and near the surface of nanoparticles key to the eco-friendly energy conversion devices.

The Russian Corporation of Nanotechnologies invites you to take part in the Nanotechnology International Forum, which is to be held on December 3—5, 2008 in the Central Exhibition Complex—"The Expocenter", Moscow, Russia.

The technology potentially could be used both for early cancer diagnoses and for assessing patients' response to cancer therapies.

Purdue University researchers have developed a method of using nanoparticles to deliver treatments to injured brain and spinal cord cells.

RFid tags are already being used for livestock tracking, attached to the ear or injected into the animal.

The problem is twofold I suspect: People in different discipline and with different agendas find it hard to listen to and understand other perspectives.

Nanotechnology is a breakthrough for minerals, nanoparticles have different properties than their larger versions

Purdue University researchers have developed a method of using nanoparticles to deliver treatments to injured brain and spinal cord cells.

A novel approach of deploying nanotechnology in textiles to reduce MRSA infection rates in hospitals

While both of these are major technology initiatives often published on web sites, newspapers and TV shows, it appears that general public awareness is still very low.
