New wearable electronics could become smart surgical gloves that allow surgeons to feel and do everything using their fingertips. Such electronics could even include electronic “socks” wrapped snugly around a patient’s heart to monitor cardiac health.

A brief intoduction to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Anne Pépin is a senior researcher at CNRS, specialized in nanotechnology. She has also been a scientific advisor at the “Mission pour la place des femmes au CNRS” since 2006.

Researchers in the Netherlands have developed a coating with a surface that repairs itself after damage.

Nanomachines could soon come to the rescue to clean up oil spills. By modifying microscopic submarines, Joseph Wang and his team from the University of California, San Diego, are showing for the first time how tiny machines can cling to oil for use in environmental clean-up.

This resource provides educational learning modules on new technologies such as biotechnology and nanotechnology.

A very close look at sea urchins has uncovered the mystery of how the animals can literally chew through stone without dulling their teeth.

Latest engineering, technology and science news. Articles, podcasts, videos, and webinars about robotics, electronics, computing, energy, biomedical devices, nanotechnology, and other cool tech.

This network approach of the project answers the need for a strong, science-based, balanced and up-to-date system for communicating nanotechnology information to the broad public.

This article talks about the key role of Richard Feynman in the early story of nanotechnology in medicine and of the importance of being small to treat diseases. It emphazies that nanosized drug delivery systems have already entered routine clinical use, mostly in Europe.
