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

The aim of the GoNano project is to promote responsiveness in research and innovation on nanotechnologies through societal engagement. In order to highlight the potential applications with significant impact on society and issues relevant to discuss in public debates, stakeholders in R&I were interviewed. The specific issues related to the energy sector can be divided … Continued
“The interesting question in the debate about nanotechnology is about trust and acceptance on a societal level. You do not want to get a polarized debate on nanotechnology, between believers and non‐believers. […] within the medical area these types of polarized discussions are less apparent as people have a much higher acceptance when the innovation can actually help them. … Continued
The Go-Nano project consists out of a series of workshops which will identify and apply public values in the development process of nanotechnologies. In order to get a grasp on which societal issues might arise during the workshops, stakeholders with different roles in the Research and Innovation value chain were interviewed. Two main topics … Continued
