These brochures were made as background material to prepare the citizen workshops of the three pilots: health, energy and food. They contain basic information about nanotechnologies and the needs, concerns and values related to possible future applications of nanotechnology. The aim of the workshop with the citizens is to examine future visions of concrete nanotechnology … Continued
Naše společnost čelí stále rostoucímu počtu obyvatel, a tím i tlaku na produkci dostatečného množství potravin. Dalším problémem je znečištění potravin způsobené pěstitelskými a výrobními postupy (např. pesticidy) nebo znečištění potravinových obalů (např. mikročásticemi z plastů). S tím souvisí i nárůst potravinového odpadu a velké rozdíly v dostupnosti kvalitních, výživově hodnotných potravin a pitné vody. … Continued
Researchers have designed a rapid nano-filter that can clean dirty water over 100 times faster than current technology. Simple to make and simple to scale up, the technology harnesses naturally occurring nano-structures that grow on liquid metals. The RMIT University and the University of New South Wales (UNSW) researchers behind the innovation have shown it … Continued
From ultra-fast charging batteries to the latest treatments against disease, nanotechnology is enabling scientists and engineers to achieve things that used to be incomprehensible. RMIT Europe, as part of the European research project GoNano and in collaboration with CCiT from the University of Barcelona, is hosting an interactive one-day citizen workshop on the future of … Continued
Soms hebben de kleinste dingen de grootste invloed Nanotechnologie is de technologie die in staat is om materie te veranderen op ongelooflijk kleine schaal, op het niveau van atomen en moleculen. Materialen kunnen zo compleet nieuwe eigenschappen krijgen en dat heeft invloed op de wereld om ons heen. Onderzoekers en ingenieurs werken al aan ramen … Continued
