Nanotech in motion.

IMAGE: YUJI SAKAI / DIGITALVISION / GETTY IMAGES Environmental, political and public health concerns are pushing the automotive industry to develop profitable green technologies. In this Insight, we look at how nanotechnology is contributing to the cause. Three pieces focus on battery nanomaterials, scalable production of hydrogen and a possible alternative for platinum-group-free membranes for...

Democratizing nanotech, then and now.

In October 2006, in the first issue of this journal, I described the idea of ‘democratizing science’ — a state of affairs in which non-experts have active and constructive roles in science policy decisions1. At that time, there were expectations that nanotechnology would be a laboratory for experimenting with the idea of democratizing science. From this came an impressive battery of focus group...

Emerging Nanotech Applications in the Oil Industry

With the introduction of nanotechnology, energy industries envisage a potential revolutionary change in the field of exploration, development and production. Research by universities into such areas as nanosensors, nanomarkers and nanobots to provide valuable data regarding the reservoir are of great focus due to their large potential return on investment, but have yet to yield substantive prod...
