Clemens Betzel, President of G24 Innovations, introduces a new and exciting form of ‘green energy’ generation that will help drive down carbon emissions without compromising on modern day life.
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.
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 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.
Nanotechnology represents an invisible world of nearly limitless potential. And, with the help of some serious microscopes, researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas are learning how to create and harness materials on this tiny scale, and then use them to further the vision for space exploration. Or as Applied Nanotechnology Team Leader Leonard Yowell puts it, the experts “grow, manipulate and test nanomaterials in order to solve NASA’s toughest technical problems.”
