Nanotechnology funding strategy in Germany shows a growing focus on sustainability aspects

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The European Union currently spends about 740 million Euros (roughly $1.2 billion) annually in public funding on nanotechnology research. This is almost on par with the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) budget of $1.28 billion (2007). Almost 40% of public EU nanotechnology funding takes place in Germany and it is estimated that about half of the European companies active in nanotechnology are based in Germany, making the country the clear nanotechnology leader in Europe. Germany’s strengths include a well structured R&D infrastructure and a high level of research in the various subfields of nanotechnology. The industrial base for utilizing the results of this research is also in place. About 700 companies are currently involved in the development, application, and sales and marketing of nanotechnological p

Gov't sets nanotechnology goals until 2015

Russia's share of the global nanotechnology market is expected to reach 3 percent in 2015, First Deputy Prime Minister Sergei Ivanov told the Federation Council today. He added that the sales of Russia's nanotechnology products would amount to some RUB 900bn (approx. USD 38.25bn). Ivanov noted that roughly RUB 180bn (approx. USD 7.65bn) would be allocated for nanotechnology development, while VTB and Russian Venture Company's programs provided additional opportunities to make nanotechnology products more profitable. He also stated that the priority areas of nanotechnology development had been chosen.

TRAC 32: Nanotechnology in Medicine

Nanotechnology has exploded onto the scientific scene in the last few years and has impacted nearly every area of scientific research. The infancy of nanotechnology began in materials science laboratories. The field of nanotechnology has matured and is now at the forefront of medical research. Nanomedicine has been heralded as the next “big thing�. Popular literature promises tiny machines that will have a huge impact on disease and aging. The reality is that nanomedicine can be divided into three basic categories tiny machines, diagnostics, and therapeutic delivery. This course will discuss all of these nanotechnology applications and focus on diagnostics and therapeutics.

A NANOTECHNOLOGY UNDERWRITERS LABORATORY REVISITED

Previously I have proposed that the Nanotechnology industry, led by the NanoBusiness Alliance (that industry supported responsible representative of what is good and beneficial about nanotech in society), and the all companies in nanotech (at all links in the value chain) create a NUL - a Nanotechnology Underwriters Laboratory - similar to the UL - Underwriters Laboratory- used by the electrical supply industry, and establish a formally recognized environmental qualification and safety stamp of approval called the NULL - Nanotechnology Underwriters Laboratory Listing. In NUL, all pending nanotechnology containing products are rigorously and responsibly tested for performance and for immediate and long-term health effects and safety, using scientific and objective protocols of acceptance and release to the market.

National Nanotechnology Initiative Needs to Change

In 2001, the U.S. launched the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI), the federal coordinating program for nanotechnology research which has channeled $7.2 billion in funding since inception. The NNI has been a great success, catalyzing a virtuous cycle of innovation. But as nanotechnology shifts from discovery to commercialization – with approximately $88 billion worth of products sold in 2007 incorporating nanotech – the NNI itself needs to change. These are the key points from testimony to be delivered by Lux Research President, Matthew Nordan, before the Senate Commerce Committee's Science, Technology, and Innovation Subcommittee.

Protecting nanotechnology workers

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Notwithstanding the mixed news (to put it mildly) that individual investors have been getting from their nanotechnology stock portfolios, industry as a whole is pressing ahead with incorporating nanotechnologies in their products and processes. Unlike many other areas of science, nanosciences are capable of influencing a wide sweep of industrial and medical processes, from cleaner energy applications, to smart materials and revolutionary medical applications. It is increasingly difficult to know which products use nanotechnology or incorporate nanomaterials; nanotechnology consumer product directories give an idea where nanomaterials are used but are increasingly useless in helping to understand the full extent of nanotechnologies penetrating industrial manufacturing processes.
