While efforts to involve the public in decision making on new technologies such as nanotechnology are impressive, they need to be substantially rethought, argues a new report from the EU-funded DEEPEN project.

In today's addition to our Application Note series we are looking at the future of electronics and the implications for research instrumentation. We are showing two examples of atomic force microscope (AFM) applications employed in this research. Current CMOS (complementary

Forensic science is exploring new horizons with Gandhinagar-based Directorate of Forensic Science by starting a new research on application and use of nanotechnology for solving complex crimes.
