ASME Nanotechnology Institute has begun releasing regular podcasts and videos on nanotech research and applications

The US Government Accountability Office (GAO) is warning that nanomaterials may be entering the market without adequate risk assessment by the US Environmental Protection Agency.

Self assembled nanodevices made of DNA could lead to medical devices, drug delivery systems and reprogram human stem cells to regenerate injured organs.

Using carbon nanotubes in a battery’s electrode produced up to a 10-fold increase in the amount of power a battery could deliver.

It is US-based, but this article presents a quick, simple, safe, and inexpensive method for teaching microfluidics (eg, lab-on-a-chip stuff) to younger students and the general public.

Teaching the singularity: More on Google and others’ vision of merging technology and human and its implication – just a couple of decades away, apparently.

Written by  science teachers Kate Anderson and Sally Parker and designed for use in the classroom, this 64-page guide will bring out the imagination, creativity and independent learning in your students.
It uses enquiry-based approaches and proven pedagogical methodology to maximise engagement and involvement of students in their learning. And it offers [...]

COSMOS magazine and the Australian government have created a splendid new education resource for teachers – and its free.

Scientists have replicated a cell’s natural design principles that determine skin elasticity or contractility of heart muscle to help regenerate human tissues and make nanometer-thick fabrics that are both strong and extremely elastic.

US chemists have perfected a simple way to make tiny copper nanowires that are ideal for thin-film solar cells, flat-screen TVs and computers, and flexible displays.
