Nanotechnology: Engines On
|
|
(Nanowerk News) Controlling climate change, abandoning dependency on fossil fuels, and
creating the conditions for sustainable development will require as great
a transformation as our ancestors accomplished over tens of thousands of
years in moving from agrarian to urban societies. "Nanotechnology:
Engines On" is a new book about how Nanotechnology is contributing to
solve this vital challenges.

|
The book has been published by NanoWiki, a digital online publication
developed in the frame of NanoAracat, to track the evolution of paradigms
and discoveries in nanoscience and nanotechnology field, annotate and
disseminate them, giving an overall view and feed the essential public
debate on nanotechnology and its practical applications.

"Merging and blending some thoughts on recent news on energy that appeared
in on our Nanowiki 2010, following the positive experience from last
year's digest, "Nanotechnology: balancing the promises", on the question
of the unknown potential benefits to human health and environmental risks
of nanotechnology. The responsible implementation of Nanotechnology should
be a balance between the risks and benefits to society, as analyzed by a
broad spectrum of stakeholders. Our intention is to promote the debate on
the evolution of this young discipline, nanotechnology, to ensure its safe
and responsible development. The text is accompanied by a selection of
microscopy images which summarize our efforts within the laboratory to
explore the world on the nanoscale during the last year."
