The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) issued new recommendations on Nov. 8 for controlling worker exposures to engineered nanomaterials during the manufacture and industrial use of those materials. The recommendations are based on technologies now applied in the various industries that use nanomaterials, and on control methods that have been shown to be effective in reducing occupational exposures in other industries.
New research from North Carolina State University and the University of Minnesota finds that people in the United States want labels on food products that use nanotechnology – whether the nanotechnology is in the food or is used in food packaging. The research also shows that many people are willing to pay more for the labeling.
BASF has participated in a research project by BMBF (German Federal Ministry of Education and Research) about the safety effects of nanoparticles. The results of the project will allow faster and easier evaluation of nan...
In a recent article in (Li X. et. al. Nature Methods advance online publication, 5 May 2013 doi:10.1038/nmeth.2472) researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) report on the use of a breakthrough new camera and associated methods in the near-atomic-resolution reconstruction of the 700 kDa 20S proteasome protein complex using single particle cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM).
A consortium of scientists from across the country has found that breathing ultrafine particles from a large family of materials that increasingly are found in a host of household and commercial products, from sunscreens to the ink in copy machines to super-strong but lightweight sporting equipment, can cause lung inflammation and damage.
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced a new innovative partnership between Tech Valley High School® (TVHS) and the SUNY College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) to better prepare students for New York’s growing nanotechnology industry and building a world-class nanotechnology workforce to support the growing industry in New York. Under the new partnership, TVHS will locate at CNSE’s Albany NanoTech Complex at the conclusion of its current lease and collaborate with CNSE on coordinated educational, training, and outreach initiatives targeting the 21st century disciplines of nanoscale science and engineering.
The next Modelling Training School funded under FP7 project QNano will take place on the 27th March 2013 at the Edinburgh Training & Conference Venue (ETCV), St. Mary’s Street, Edinburgh, UK. The school is free to attend and a limited number of attendance spaces remain available.
Further supporting Governor Andrew Cuomo’s vision for building a world-class nanotechnology workforce to enable high-tech economic growth across New York, the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering (CNSE) of the University at Albany (UAlbany) today announced that three-quarters of its newest graduating class will pursue educational and career opportunities in the Empire State following commencement ceremonies this weekend.
