Research, industry and government in the Netherlands are making the most of the country’s strong scientific position in nanotechnology and establishing itself, through a highly integrated and cooperative NanoNed network, as a world leader in small science while paving the way for accelerated commercialisation. The four-year NanoNed initiative has seen massive investment and the success that can be achieved by working together under a common agenda.
Paul Borm asks whether the explosion in nanoparticle application in products should take a step back to assess the risks involved or whether best practices or regulation can help to limit the risk.
Ottilia Saxl talks with David Reinhoudt, recently Director of MESA+ and architect of NanoNed, about how industry shaped his thinking, how he focused MESA+ on nanotechnology as far back as 1998, why recipients of research funding should be accountable, and how money is a critical factor of success in the ‘expensive sport’ of nanotechnology.
In this issue of Nano, we explore transport and the major impact that nanotechnology will have in making automotives more energy efficient, cost effective and safer to drive.
In our regular series on issues linked to medical nanotechnology, Richard Moore examines the notion of "governance", what it may mean to different stakeholders and how it may affect medical nanotechnology, especially on a European level.
