Funding Sources:
Environmental Implications of Emerging Technologies
Full Proposal Window: March 1, 2008
Program Guidelines: PD 08-1179
The Environmental
Implications of Emerging Technologies program provides support
to develop and test the environmental effects of new technologies.
Fundamental and basic research is sought to establish and understand outcomes as a
result of the implementation of new technologies such as nanotechnology, biotechnology,
and information technology. The program also supports research on the
development and refinement of sensors and sensor ...

New kind of
transistor radios shows capability of nanotube technology
University of Illinois January 28th, 2008 Carbon
nanotubes have a sound future in the electronics industry, say researchers who
built the world's first all-nanotube transistor radios to prove it.
EPA Seeks
Data About Nanoscale Materials
EPA January 28th, 2008 What are the human
health and environmental risks and benefits of nanoscale chemical products?
That's what EPA wants to find out with its just-announced Nanoscale Materials
Stewardship Program (NMSP). Engineered nanoscale materials range in size from
1-100 nanometers (nm), and may have very different properties than the same
materials at a larger scale.
'One-pot'
process can make more-efficient materials for fuel cells and solar cells
Cornell University January 28th, 2008 Cornell
researchers have developed a "one-pot" process to create porous films
of crystalline metal oxides that could lead to more-efficient fuel cells and
solar cells.
