We are fascinated every-time a new electronic or product comes out that is smaller, cheaper, and faster than ever. We are fascinated at how technology is advancing and how efficient we can use the resources around us to make life easier. However, even if it appears to be legitimate and based primarily through the advancement [...]

On a December 2006 article, I suggested this interpretation for the new Berkeley Nanotechnology Regulation:<!–[if !supportLists]–>1. <!–[endif]–>The duty is to report, no more, no lessThere are no exact standard as to the form of the reportGeneral minimum disclosure standards may apply. Producers shall disclose anything within the boundaries of their present knowledge. Non disclosure may [...]
The field of science which looks forward a boom every day is definitely, nanotechnology. It deals with particles that are very small in size( about 10^-9 m).The main idea upon which nanotechnology relies is that the original properties (either physical or chemical) of a substance gets changed when the size of the substance is reduced [...]
Recently, ingredients manufacturer Kobo launched a range of non-nano titanium dioxide and zinc oxide UV filters for use in sunscreens.The company found many consumers are concerned with the possible health risks of nanoparticles in cosmetics, skin care and sunscreens.Nanotechnology is the science used to shrink chemical particles to 100 nanometers wide, which is roughly 1/100,000 [...]
Nanotechnology has worked its way into the field of processing. Nanoparticles are defined as units of substance that maintain that substance’s properties that exist between 100 and 2500 nanometers. Particles smaller than this are considered “ultrafine,” while particles that lose the original substance’s properties would simply be considered another material altogether. While seeds of nanoparticle [...]
