Read moreNanotechnologies in agriculture are mostly associated with the reproduction of agricultural species and the processing and improvement of the quality of production. Nanotechnologies are already being used for disinfection of the air and of various materials, including food for animals, for purification of water in agro-ecological systems, for the treatment of seeds and cultures, for stimulation of the growth and the development of plants, as well as for the development of new types of packing materials allowing the continuous preservation of the ready products.

Read moreThe workshop will discuss the relevance of the different types of regulation, their interaction, and their capacity to define a coherent framework for nano-products. These themes will be discussed by a multidisciplinary group of scholars (legal experts, sociologists, economists, biologists, physicists, toxicologists, etc.).

Read moreScientists working at the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory have discovered striking new details about the electronic structure of graphene, crystalline sheets of carbon just one atom thick. They found that composite particles called plasmarons play a vital role in determining graphene's properties.

Read moreResearchers at the J. Craig Venter Institute made the much-anticipated announcement today that they have created a replicating 'synthetic cell' - a bacterium with its DNA replaced by a 100% prosthetic genome. Eight leading synthetic-biology pundits reflect on what effect Craig Venter's latest achievement could have on science and society.
