ScienceDaily (June 27, 2010) — A cluster of carbon nanotubes coated with a thin layer of protein-recognizing polymer form a biosensor capable of using electrochemical signals to detect minute amounts of proteins, which could provide a crucial new di

ScienceDaily (June 1, 2010) — The silicon transistors in your computer may be replaced in ten years by transistors based on carbon nanotubes. This is what scientists at the University of Gothenburg are hoping -- they have developed a method to control the nanotubes during production.

University of California, San Francisco Publishes Draft Nanotechnology Regulatory Policy Recommendations The Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment (PRHE) at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) is part of the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Services located in UCSF’s School of Medicine. PRHE recently published its draft “A Nanotechnology Policy Framework: Policy Recommendations for Addressing Potential Health Risks from Nanomaterials in California.1” The draft nanotechnology policy framework will be presented to Cal/EPA’s Of

Traffic monitoring sensor with Nanotechnology Many communities in the U.S. and Europe has begun to integrate intelligent transportation systems (ITS) in the infrastructure of transportation systems to help monitor and manage traffic and reduce congestion. These systems also provide transportation professionals the tools necessary to collect, analyze and archive the data used to evaluate the performance of these systems. An important part of these STIs are movement sensors that provide real time information services and applications such as traffic lights control traffic counters tol
