Improvements in performance have been strongly correlated to advances in nanotechnology; for example, the introduction of nanoparticulate photocatalysts has tremendously enhanced the catalytic efficiency of specific materials. http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4194~.html?action=longview http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4194~.html?action=longview 2011-02-15 09:56:47 +0100 observatoryNANO: Display devices play a critical role in information sharing as they are used in our everyday life in different applications. Cathode ray tubes have dominated the display industry for over 70 years but the demand for better quality displays is driving technology development. Consumers call for suitably priced displays with improved features in thinness, brightness, contrast ratio, viewing angle, longevity, size, and reduced weight and power consumption. Nanotechnology, an emerging approach to upgrade flat displays, improves the performance and quality while taking environmental aspects into account. These advances also provide novel features such as foldability and flexibility. http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4193~.html?action=longview http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4193~.html?action=longview 2011-02-14 17:21:22 +0100 NanoSustain: Nanotechnology has been cited as a future key technology with the potential to revolutionise many aspects of human society.

COST stimulates new, innovative, interdisciplinary and broad research networks in Europe. COST does not fund research itself, but supports networking activities.<br /> COST invites again researchers throughout Europe to submit proposals for research networks and use this unique opportunity to exchange knowledge and to embark on new European perspectives. A continuous Open Call for Proposals is used to attract the best proposals for new COST Actions.<br /> COST is asking for proposals for Actions contributing to the scientific, technological, economic, cultural or societal development of Europe. Proposals playing a precursor role for other European programmes and/or initiated by earlystage researchers are especially welcome.<br /> The Open Call follows a two-stage process whereby applicants, after registering, submit a preliminary proposal by a set collection date. Preliminary Proposals (maximum 1 500 words/3 pages), are submitted online and consist of a brief overview of the proposal and its intended impact. After assessment, successful applicants are then invited to submit a full proposal.<br /> The next Open Call collection date is 25 March 2011. http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4191~.html?action=longview http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4191~.html?action=longview 2011-02-10 10:21:49 +0100 Nanopodium: The Committee Societal Dialogue Nanotechnology (CieMDN) recently offered its final report: "Responsibly onwards with nanotechnology; findings March 2009-January 2011," to the Dutch government.

In this period, significant technological advances have taken place including in nanotechnology, which have significant potential for improving lives of many people and for contributing to sustainable development. They may also lead to new or intensified threats or ethical dilemmas. Europe has more and more grown towards a community of values, which remain interpreted differently in different parts of Europe, contributing to the need for ethical assessment. The EGE has broadened the scope from bioethics to ethics of new and emerging technologies. It has also developed the normative framework used in the reports more based on theories of human rights, and incorporated non-European perspectives. http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4135~.html?action=longview http://www.nanoforum.org/nf06~modul~showmore~folder~99999~scc~news~scid~4135~.html?action=longview 2010-08-10 13:58:13 +0100 Nanometing, nanopodium: From 15 August until 15 November, the Dutch Nanomeasurement will be held, an online opinion pole with weekly questions on societal aspects of nanotechnology.
