The Third Bi-Regional EU-SEA S&T Stakeholders’ Conference, the so called Budapest Conference with the overriding theme of “Sharing the Benefits of Joint Research” was held from 24-25 November, 2010 in the prestigious Buda castle in Budapest, Hungary.
Nanotechnology is beginning to play a big role in consumers’ everyday life from medical to sports to pharmaceuticals. Therefore, it is necessary to build public awareness and understanding to the importance of nanotechnology. The National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC) initiated a project in 2008 which have caused significant multiplying effect to building human resource to help […]
Invitation to attend: Nano Talk at NANOTEC “Hydrothermal carbonization: High value carbon nanomaterials from sustainable resource” By Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Markus ANTONIETTI Director of Max Planck Institute of Colloids and Interfaces, Germany
From December 1-9 NANOTEC and research agencies within NSTDA will join the nation in celebrating HM the king’s 84th birthday bash at Suan Amphorn area on Rajdamnern Rd. NSTDA exhibition pavilion will be near the statue of King Rama 5. The celebration will begin at 18:00 – 24:00 in which Rajdamnern area will become the […]
Researchers at the University of California Berkeley have developed a new way to directly integrate ultrathin layers of compound semiconductors onto silicon substrates. The technique produces low-power, high-performance nanoscale transistors that can be switched on and off more quickly than their bulk counterparts.
Researchers at the University of Ulm in Germany have developed a new and powerful technique to accelerate drug uptake into cancer cells. The method beats slow diffusion-controlled processes – one of the most important limitations in chemotherapy.
The first biosensor made from plasmonic nanohole arrays has been unveiled by researchers at Boston University Photonics Centre in the US. The device, which exploits “extraordinary optical transmission”, can detect live viruses in a biological solution.
Congratulations to Dr. Uracha (NanoDelivery Lab) Dr. Uracha has been voted Outstanding Researcher and Innovator in Medicine by Khonkaen University Alumni. The award presentation will be take place during Khonkaen University 30th Years Celebration on November 27, 2010 in Khonkaen.
Dr. Suwit Wibulpolprasert “With new properties come new issues. This is what makes “nano” interesting in various fields of technologies. When they are used in these new ways, safety of nanomaterials has raised serious concerns. Because of their very small size and higher surface area per mass, most nanomaterials often behave differently from their bulk […]
HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presided over the opening of “NanoThailand 2010: Nanotechnology for a Sustainable World” a premier international conference and exhibition held at Thailand Science Park Convention Center in Klong Luang, Pathumthani province from Nov 18-20. Organized by the Nanotechnology Association of Thailand and National Nanotechnology Center (NANOTEC), the event provides opportunity for […]
Aj. Jumras Limtrakul (Kasetsart University) a member of NANOTEC Board of Directors received the 2010 Outstanding Person of the Year from the National Identity Board on Oct 18, 2010 from HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn at Chaipattana Building, Chitralada Villa.
Researchers at Harvard University in the US have developed a new, clean and simple technique, dubbed “ice lithography”, to fabricate nanodevices. The method, which relies on using a thin film of water ice as a resist for electron-beam lithography, does not contaminate or degrade samples, unlike many conventional nanofabrication processes.
Researchers at the University of Glasgow in the UK are the first to have created “super-twisted light” in the lab. The light is so-called because it has a high degree of circular polarization and could be used to detect minute quantities of biological molecules in solution. Indeed, super-twisted light could help scientists study the proteins […]
The polarization of light can be rotated by almost 6° as it passes through a single sheet of graphene in a magnetic field, according to an international team of physicists. This latest property of graphene – a sheet of carbon just one atom thick – was unexpected because large rotations normally occur only in much […]
For young and upcoming researchers, joining an international event is always a welcome opportunity. For Ms. Jittima MEEPRASERT (Mam) – Assistant researcher, Nanoscale Simulation Lab, NANOTEC, Ms. Sudarat POOKBOONMEE (Liew) – Assistant researcher, Hybrid Nanostructure Lab, NANOTEC, Dr. Weerakanya MANEEPRAKORN (Pui) – Research, Nano-Molecular Target Lab, NANOTEC, and Mr. Ong-arj TANGMETTAJITTAKUL- PhD candidate, Chulalongkorn University, […]
Researchers at the Nano-Science Center of the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, have developed a way to produce ultra-clean nanowires, overcoming one of the challenges to the production of such materials – controlling the production so the electronic structure is perfectly uniform throughout the nanowire.
Nanotechnology promises to play a major role in the automotive sector, and this article highlights applications already in use and ones we can expect in the future. The automotive sector is a huge consumer of material technologies and nanomaterials are expected to improve the performance of existing technologies significantly.
This article addresses regulatory issues of nanotechnology and takes an in-depth look at how the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have dealt with nanotechnology regulation since a November 2007 memorandum from the Office of Science and Technology Policy, […]
Congratulations to Dr. Rawiwan (Ung) Recipient of the SOT/AstraZeneca Travel Fellowship to attend the 2011 Society of Toxicology Annual Meeting, March 6–10, 2011 in Washington, D.C. USA. The IUTOX Awards Committee selection was based on outstanding qualifications as a scientist in a country where toxicology is underrepresented and for current research program and practice of toxicology. […]
On Nov 9, 2010 a NANOTEC team consisting of Prof. Dr. Sirirurg, Dr. Sirasak, and Ram attended the Asia Nano Forum 7th Summit (ANFoS10) in Hanoi, Vietnam.
