After a public consultation and several rounds of meetings, the Working Group of the Responsible Nano Code has finalized the Seven Principles of the Code for Responsible Nanotechnology and a series of Examples of Good Practice.

National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)) New research shows that while engineered nanomaterials can be transferred up the lowest levels of the food chain from single celled organisms to higher multicelled ones, the amount transferred was relatively low and

Green nanotechnology allows sustainable construction. This is the theme of one day workshop in Copenhagen. The workshop takes place in connection with this years Nanotech Northern Europe Conference (NTNE), the largest annual nanotech conference in Europe.

Nanowire mesh can absorb up to 20 times its weight in oil.

Advanced material engineering techniques can structure surfaces that allow dynamic tuning of their wettability all the way from superhydrophobic (i.e. repelling) behavior to almost complete wetting (i.e. superhydrophilic or strongly absorbing) - but these surfaces only work with high-surface-tension liquids.

Four UK Research Councils have come together to announce funding for new projects designed to rapidly build the UK?s expertise and capacity in the emerging field of synthetic biology.

Cutting edge nanotechnology research at North Carolina State University is leading to advances in everything from revitalizing HIV drugs to creating harder, stronger nanocrystalline iron that can really take the heat.

Early Warning is developing a wide range of detection products employing a revolutionary nanotechnology-based biosensor licensed from NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley.

As part of its Masdar Initiative, the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co. is significantly expanding its investment in solar energy by contracting with Applied Materials to purchase three SunFab Thin Film Lines for producing solar modules.

Neurotechnology isn't science fiction - it's here today,"'says John Donoghue, professor of neuroscience and engineering and director of the Brown Institute for Brain Science. 'Devices that connect to the nervous system are already helping those with paralysis to move again,
