The USC (University of Southern California) Biomedical Nanoscience Initiative has finished construction on its new nanoscience labs. The additions are core laboratories that will provide a solid foundation for research at USC on biomedical nanoscience to use nanoscale particles and structures for highly precise tests, devices and treatments.
Bruker BioSpin has installed the world’s first 1000 MHz ultra-high field Nuclear magnetic resonance AVANCE spectrometer at CRMN (the Centre de Resonance Magnétique Nucléaire à Très Hauts Champs) in Lyon, France. The ultra-high resolution capabilities and sensitivity of the AVANCE 1000 will enable breakthroughs in the study of several crucial problems, officials said.
One of NASA’s most noted experts on nanotechnology is Dr. M Meyyappan, the Chief Scientist for Exploration Technology at NASA Ames' Center for Nanotechnology. He is the co-author of the soon-to-be-released Inorganic Nanowires: Applications, Properties, and Characterization, which reveals in detail what Meyyappan calls nanotechnology’s “quiet revolution.” NanoScienceWorks.org talks with Dr. Meyyappan to learn why inorganic nanowires may hold the key to the next wave in large-scale commercialization of nanotechnologies.
Geoffrey von Maltzahn, 29. of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is among the winners of 2009 Collegiate Inventors Competition. von Maltzahn won for his advances in nanomedicine to increase the effectiveness of cancer drugs. The competition a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame sponsored by the Abbott Fund, the non-profit foundation of the global health care company Abbott, and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has issued details on its new approach to conduct more proactive research into the impact of manufactured nanomaterials on human health and the environment. NanoScienceWorks.org summarizes the 111-page report and offers a free copy for review.

The University of North Carolina (Chapel Hill) has joined with the National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) to coordinate much of it's nanotechnology research. Under NNI, the university operates several research efforts with a focus on nanobiosciences, computer modeling, nanoscale materials and tools.
University of Central Florida’s Advanced Materials Processing and Analysis Center (AMPAC) in Orlando is home to the $10 million Materials Characterization Facility (MCF), within the Central Florida Research Park and the Advanced Microfabrication and Clean Room Facility.

Textbook Communities
This textbook offers a new paradigm for teaching the next generation of nanotechnologists. The authors survey the physical basics of nanotechnology (nanorheology, nanofluidics, nanomaterials and nanomechanics), and many industrial concerns -- manufacturing, reliability, and safety. This textbook is an ideal companion to "Introduction to Nanoscience," by the same group of esteemed authors.
Tomorrow's nanoscientist will have a truly interdisciplinary and nano-centric education, rather than, for example, a degree in chemistry with a specialization in nanoscience. This textbook is a full-color masterwork presents an overview of the nanoscale, including characterization and fabrication across chemistry, physics, and biology aspects of nanoscience.
Recently Published
Reflecting the exceptional growth in recent years in the use of nanostructured materials for an increasing range of industrial applications, Polymer Nanocomposites Handbook comprehensively covers the synthesis of both nanomaterials that act as the building blocks of polymer nanocomposites as well as polymers that act as matrix materials. It examines molecular precursors and related challenges for large-scale manufacturing. It describes current processing techniques and the difficulty to obtain good dispersion. Discussing future applications in civilian and defense-related fields, it also presents methods to characterize the bulk and interfacial structure of polymer nanocomposites.
