Nanotech Consumer Products

Big Questions on Tiny, Tiny Technology from August 9, 2008, brings up issues on consumer based nanotechnology and the regulations that need to be implemented for the good of public. These nanotech items inclued smellresistant socks, costmetics, and sporting goods. It explains the unstable nature of nanomaterials and the need for these regulations that include inventorying the materials and public awareness of health information on these nanotech products.

Looking Ahead to a Tiny Technology
This article from August 15, 2008 explains what a shrinking technology has in store for the future. It talks about storage space, football playing nanobots, and nanobots in the commercial world.

Webcast - Synthetic Biology: The Next Biotech Revolution Is Brewin

In reference to nanotechnology, a webcast will air tomorrow explaining how advances in biotechnology will create challenges for the U.S. government. You can read about the webcast here. The site also has general information on synthetic biology, government issues, and ethics.

If you want to view the webcast, go here tomorrow at 12:30.

Nanotech Advancement

The article Big Step in Tiny Technology from August 27, 2008, explains Scottish researcher's from the University of St. Andrews new advancement in nanotechnology. Basically, they have found a better way to arrange molecules that has great benefits when working on such a small scale (about 1/10,000 the diameter of a human hair with this technology). This new area of technology is still in the beginning stages, but Dr. Manfred Buck, of the University's School of Chemistry explains that this technology may be useful in the development of "nanomachines", which are "molecular devices used to transport and manipulate molecules and nanometer sized objects."

Nanotechproject.org

Nanotechnology is the ultimate of a tiny tech world. Nanotechproject.org give an Introduction to Nanotechnology, reviews news, publications, and events, documents many other aspects of the nano-world.

Arguably the most interesting aspect of their site is their inventory of all things nanotech. Broken down into categories, like consumer products and medicine, one can browse a large array of products that use nanotechnology. They also explain the criteria for an item to be included in their list, track changes, and display a statistical analysis that allows one to see the changes in nanotech use in certain categorizes over the past few years.
