Nanosensors' niche in nanotechnology
Article Abstract:
Nanosensors are devices that are capable of sensing and responding to physical stimuli with dimensions of the order of one billionth of a meter. If properly developed, they will revolutionize the detection of chemical and biological substances, displacement and motion, force and mass, acoustic, thermal, electromagnetic stimuli and thus nanotechnology will have a tremendous impact on the industry.

Building better bones through Nanotechnology
Article Abstract:
Antoni Tomsia, of Berkeley Lab's Material's Science division, has devised nanotechnological methods, by which he hopes to develop biomaterials that replicate the strength, porosity, and elasticity of real bone. In one method, researchers use the nanoparticles of a calcium phosphate mineral to develop scaffolding, with a dense inner core and gradually increasing porosity towards the surface.

Paving the road for a nanotechnology future
Article Abstract:
The subcommittee on Nanoscale Science, Engineering and Technology (NSET), organized a series of workshops on different nanotechnological topics aimed at the development of nanotechnology in the future. The main issues are the need for long term research programmes, collaboration among funding agencies, increasing the U.S R&D budget dedicated to nanoscience and nanotechnology.
