balancing risk and opportunity
The challenge with all emerging liabilities is to identify risk potentialities at an early stage, and well before they become the subject of court action.
Technology is no exception and with rapid innovation companies can find it difficult to keep up with the risks.
Nanotechnology is a good example.
And it’s one where you get a [...]
Nanotechnology risks
ano-this and nano-that. These days it seems you need the prefix “nano” for products or applications if you want to be either very trendy or incredibly scary. This “nanotrend” has assumed “mega” proportions: Patent offices around the world are swamped with nanotechnology-related applications; investment advisors compile nanotechnology stock indices and predict a coming boom in [...]
Pushing the envelope in atomic force microscopy
(Nanowerk Spotlight – Application Note) Over the past decade, Atomic Force/Scanning Probe Microscopy (AFM/SPM) has emerged as the leading tool for investigations at the nanoscale – doing everything from imaging, to compositional differentiation, to explorations of molecular forces. But aside from some interesting tweaks, add-ons and repackaging, the field has seen no fundamentally new instruments [...]
nanocomposite for on-demand drug delivery inside the body
(Nanowerk Spotlight) Quite a number of serious medical conditions, such as cancer, diabetes and chronic pain, require medications that cannot be taken orally, but must be dosed intermittently, on an as-needed basis, and over a long period of time. Researchers have been trying to develop drug delivery techniques with ‘on-off switches’ that would allow controlled [...]
