Nanotech safety
Friday, July 17th, 2009The safety of nanotechnology, the science of “engineering systems at a molecular scale”, has been paid little attention until recently, as more and more applications for the technology are being found. The main focus is on the safety of nanomedicine, the application of nanotechnology to the field of medicine. The concern is that materials behave [...]

Introduction to nanomaterials
Friday, July 17th, 2009When materials are reduced to a very small scale, like the size of a few molecules or atoms, their properties can change drastically. The reason for this is the fact that the surface area to volume ration of the material at a tiny scale is much greater than it is at a larger scale. Some [...]
