A new facility dedicated to integrative science activities at the University of Oregon is now under construction. The Lewis Integrative Science Building is slated for completion by fall 2012 and will house facilities for nanotechnology, solar energy, neuroscience, and molecular biology research. Check out the construction webcam and find out more about the research and researchers on the integrative science website.
The Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry hosts the first in its webinar series: Intellectual Property, Tech Transfer and YOU on February 2, 2012 from 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific Standard Time (3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern Standard Time)
If you've used silverware and worn copper jewelry in a warm, humid room, you've been in a perfect storm in which nanoparticles were dropped into the environment, say scientists at the University of Oregon.
Ever since nanotechnology emerged, researchers, regulators and the public have been concerned about the potential toxicity of the residual materials from nano-sized products that that might threaten human health by way of environmental exposure.
Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry (CSMC) Kickoff Event
The CSMC, a $20M National Science Foundation Center for Chemical Innovation, invites the regional community to its launch on October 24th and 25th in the Construction and Engineering Hall of the LaSells Stewart Center.
Learn about Center outreach, education, research, and commercialization activities and participate in discussions with leading industrial technology innovators.
In a recent interview with Research Media, LTD, Dr Robert Tanguay provided an insight into his work with SNNI on identifying hazards and risks of nanomaterials; research that has the potential to improve and protect human and environmental health. In the interview, he describes how we:
SNNI's 6th annual Greener Nano 2011 (GN11) will be hosted by HP in Cupertino, CA, in conjunction with the Green Chemistry and Commerce Council (GC3) Innovators Roundtable. GN11 will explore challenges and opporunities facing nanotechnology in the next decade. We will address reproducibility in nanomaterials syntheses, and discuss methods in understanding nanomaterial properties and the impacts of nanomaterials in biological systems.
