Construction of several new nanoscience facilities will get a helping hand thanks to The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) grants under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Among the 12 projects, many are nano-related. The construction awards are the result of a competition announced by NIST last May. Check out the list.
The Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) is taking on a ‘Myth-Busting’ campaign to speed adoption of micro- and nano-manufacturing techniques among their membership. The campaign comes as a recent survey of SME members found that of all those who expressed an interest in these techniques, only about half were applying them in products today.
Just over two years after the establishment of one of Korea's most noted nanotechnology education and research center, the National Center for Nanomaterials and Technology (NCNT) at POSTECH or Pohang University of Science and Technology, NanoScienceWorks.org is pleased to feature an interview with Prof Yoon-Ha Jeong, visionary founder of NCNT and VP of Research at POSTECH.
Nanoresearchers at the University of Central Florida are opening a new avenue in the search for a cure to Alzheimer's disease, having discovered a mechanism that may be responsible for early deterioration of brain function in Alzheimer's victims.
MediSens Wireless, a startup company within UCLA's high-tech incubator for nanotechnology, has received the OK to start clinical trials of its novel wireless body-monitoring system, which is designed to assess muscle and neuromotor functions.

Textbook Communities
This textbook offers a new paradigm for teaching the next generation of nanotechnologists. The authors survey the physical basics of nanotechnology (nanorheology, nanofluidics, nanomaterials and nanomechanics), and many industrial concerns -- manufacturing, reliability, and safety. This textbook is an ideal companion to "Introduction to Nanoscience," by the same group of esteemed authors.
Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. This textbook is a full-color masterwork presents an overview of the nanoscale, including characterization and fabrication across chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience.
Recently Published
Reflecting the exceptional growth in recent years in the use of nanostructured materials for an increasing range of industrial applications, Polymer Nanocomposites Handbook comprehensively covers the synthesis of both nanomaterials that act as the building blocks of polymer nanocomposites as well as polymers that act as matrix materials. It examines molecular precursors and related challenges for large-scale manufacturing. It describes current processing techniques and the difficulty to obtain good dispersion. Discussing future applications in civilian and defense-related fields, it also presents methods to characterize the bulk and interfacial structure of polymer nanocomposites.
