Nanotechnology institutes provide resources for research and promotion of nanotechnology, with teaching, support, and research staff. Researchers are the most important asset, requiring a minimum doctoral degree. Conferences and events encourage discourse and networking. Predicted growth in the next decade, but issues around disposal, resource utilization, and knowledge sharing remain. Around the world, almost every […]
Nanoscience has the potential to revolutionize the world, but also carries risks such as uncontrolled nanomachines, nanoweapons, and unforeseen dangers. Gray Goo is a primary concern, as unchecked nanomachines could cause harm. The field must be treated with respect and care. Nearly all scientific research carries risks, and nanoscience is no different in that respect. […]
Nanotechnology companies develop and implement nanotechnology, often in pharmaceutical or healthcare research, defense, or military work. They invest in the research and development of nanomachines, microscopic devices that could fight diseases and repair damaged cells. These companies hire scientists and fund research through contracts with government agencies or commercial product development. Nanotechnology companies do a […]
Nanodiamonds are produced through controlled explosions or graphite-based processes and are used in industrial applications. They have potential medical uses, including delivering and monitoring chemotherapy drugs. Northwestern University researchers found that nanodiamonds can enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs and can be easily washed out of the urinary tract. MRI can be used to monitor […]
Nanotechnology and nanoscience are related but different fields. Nanoscience studies objects in the range of ten to hundreds of nanometers, while nanotechnology manipulates and applies nano-sized objects. Nanoscale objects have altered properties, and advancements in these fields could lead to stronger, more efficient materials, drug delivery, air purification, and more. Nanotechnology has been used unknowingly […]
