Nano-Central: The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies
14 July 2007
For those of you that are working in nanotech or are interested in how nano will effect your lives should take some time and visit The Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies Site. This site and the information there is a collaboration between the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and The Pew Charitable Trusts. Their Mission Statement is interesting in their goals. They also have some great content on there:
- Frontpage with Nano News
- Green Nano discussion series
- Inventories of nano products in (Medicine, Agriculture/Food, & Consumer)
- A list of government sponsors research on EH&S of Nano.
- Some of the research projects they are sponsoring.
- Some Publications they have been involved in.
One interesting item on the site I didn’t list above is the Nano Google Maps Mashup. One static image is shown below that shows the relative activity in Nano across the United States. At the link you can zoom in on your area and see the companies locally are working in Nano. Looking at my area, I know the data collection is not complete, but the concepts is a nice way to visualize the geographical relationships to data.
So is your company on the map? If it is you should at least check out the rest of the data at the site.
