Molecular Electronics
Source: Physics Today – Publication date: May 2003
	Improvements in our understanding of how molecules transport charge, and how they interface to the macroscopic world, are fueling new devices and applications.

MONA Nanophotonics Technology roadmap
Source: MONA project – Publication date: December 2007
	The MONA project (Merging Optics and Nanotechnologies) has been launched in June 2005 by the European Commission in order to bridge the gap between photonics and nanotechnologies. The ultimate objective of the project has been the development of a European roadmap for photonics and nanotechnologies.

Nano and the Environment
Source: Nanoforum – Publication date: March 2006
	The "Nano and the Environment" workshop was organized to reflect upon and discuss ways in which nanotechnology could be used for the benefit of the environment, while at the same time remaining fully cognisant of the risks associated with any new technology.

Nano-solutions for the 21st century
Source: Oxford Martin School – Publication date: May 2013
	This report examines the potential for nanotechnology to enable deeply transformative production technologies that can be developed through a series of advances that build on current nanotechnology research.

NanoFrontiers: Visions for the Future of Nanotechnology
Source: Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies – Publication date: March 2007
	Controlling the properties and behavior of matter at the smallest scale - in effect, 'domesticating atoms' - can help to overcome some of the world's biggest challenges, concludes a new report on how diverse experts view the future of nanotechnology. This publication highlights the findings of a Washington, DC meeting organized by the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies

Nanologue Mapping Study
Source: Nanologue – Publication date: September 2005
	Summary of key findings from a literature study on ethical, legal and social aspects of nanotechnologies

Nanomaterials in Soil - Our food chain?
Source: Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy – Publication date: April 2013
	This report reviews a small part of the rapidly growing scientific literature that raises questions about how engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) might affect soil health and soil biodiversity in field trials and subsequently the commercial and chronic application of ENMs in agricultural soil. The questions concern not only the intentional use of ENMs in fertilizers, but the incidental presence of ENMs in 'biosolids', defined by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as 'treated residuals from wastewater treatment that can be used beneficially'.

Nanomedicine Taxonomy
Source: Canadian NanoBusiness Alliance – Publication date: February 2003
	This document presents a nanomedicine taxonomy that describes some of the principal areas of nanotechnology and related small technology activities currently being undertaken in medicine and health care.

Nanomedicine- new solutions or new problems?
Source: Health Care Without Harm – Publication date: March 2014
	This report from Health Care Without Harm gives an overview of nanomedicine in general with particular emphasis on environmental and human health risks, as well as raising regulatory issues that need to be addressed in order for nanomedicine to deliver on its promises without unduly introducing new risks.

Nanomedicine. An ESF-European Medical Research Councils (EMRC) Forward Look Report
Source: European Science Foundation – Publication date: December 2005
	The report summarizes the results of a foresight study on developments in nanotechnologies for medical applications which was organised by ESF from 2003-2005. The study aimed to define the field; discuss the future impact of nanomedicine on healthcare practice and society; review the current state of the art of nanomedicines research; identify european strengths and weaknesses; deliver recommendations on future research trends, priorities for funding, the need for research infrastructure and how to communicate about it to the general public.
