Nano-Technology is a Nation-Wide Interest

Nano-technology: a Disruptive Technology?

A nation-wide initiative against venous thromboembolism.

There is a gap between knowledge and recommendations regarding venous thromboembolism (VTE) on the one hand and daily practice on the other. This fact has prompted a Swiss multidisciplinary group consisting of angiologists, haematologists, internists, and emergency medicine and pharmaceutical medicine specialists interested in VTE, the SAMEX group, to set up a series of surveys and studies that...

Nano-technology and nano-toxicology

Rapid developments in nano-technology are likely to confer significant benefits on mankind. But, as with perhaps all new technologies, these benefits are likely to be accompanied by risks, perhaps by new risks. Nano-toxicology is developing in parallel with nano-technology and seeks to define the hazards and risks associated with nano-materials: only when risks have been identified they can be ...

Nano Technology

We present a new approach using genetic algorithms, neural networks, and nano robotics concepts applied to the problem of control design for nanoassembly automation and its application in medicine. As a practical approach to validate the proposed design, we have elaborated and simulated a virtual Environment focused on control automation for nano robotics teams that exhibit collective behavior....

Nano Technology: A Microscopic Solution

The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at the molecular level, atom by atom, to create large structures with fundamentally new molecular organization. Nanotechnology is concerned with materials and systems whose structures and components exhibit novel and significantly improved properties. These physical, chemical, and biological properties, processes and phenomena are novel due t...
