New NSF program connects researchers, entrepreneurs

Nsf Grant #0755995 Nsf Program Name: Nanomanufacturing

This technical paper reports progress on two fronts on the proposed research in the field of Nanoxerography. Aspect 1 reports on a new nanolens approach on the basis of charged resist structures to print nanoparticles with high resolution – a 3 fold size reduction has been observed between the structures and the assembled particles. Directed assembly was observed due to a naturally occurring in...

Mentoring program supports new generation of HIV researchers.

AS THE AIDS EPIDEMIC REACHES the midpoint of its third decade, HIV researchers in San Francisco have taken steps to empower the next generation of scientists to join the war against the potentially deadly infection. They have launched an ambitious mentoring initiative, targeted at developing and encouraging young researchers committed to a career in HIV research. The program, which was started ...

Entrepreneurs and new ideas

We take the view (advanced, among others, by Schumpeter) that new ideas are original combinations of existing elements. While many random combinations are useless, some represent combinations which ”...t” together, aggregating di¤erent components in a novel and functional way. Thus, in order to appraise an innovative idea it is necessary to have specialized experts examine whether each of its d...
