Europe sees some nano 'action'


Looking small, thinking big – keeping Europe at the forefront of nanotechnology (Welcomeurope)

    Applications of nanotechnology – activities at the level of atoms and molecules – are bringing a range of benefits including more effective ways of delivering drugs to treat diseases, faster computer processors and more efficient solar cells. An action plan proposes measures to be taken at national and European level to strengthen research in this area and develop useful products and services. More here
