Nanotechnology and Manufacturing
Four years ago, words like “impossible,” “futuristic,” and “science fiction” filled discussions about nanotechnology. Since the announcement of the US National Nanotechnology Initiative in 2000, though, worldwide investment in nano research and development has raced forward, with $8 billion invested in 2004 alone. That kind of growth has leaders at major companies sitting up and [...]
Nanotechnology developments
anotechnology is a relatively new field of research and scientific development. It has been speculated about for decades and the wonders and advantages of nanotechnology have been extolled by many. But not all.
The scientific community, in its never ending quest for information and knowledge, consistently fails to seriously acknowledge the dangers of “invisible” technology, such [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
