NanoProfessor, one of the branches of NanoInk, Inc. dedicated to the education related to nanotechnology, has declared that North Central State College of Ohio has included nanotechnology to their science curriculum. The north central college has purchased the 'NanoProfessor' which is an Educational Program curriculum of Nano science.

Ken Ekegren, who is an Assistant Professor of Engineering Technology, was granted with an Innovation Fund donation from the NC State Foundation to invest in the nanotechnology educational program. Professor Ekegren opined that "Incorporating nanotechnology in the engineering and bioscience programs is a major decision, which will make our students ready to compete for highly specialized positions in every field. He further added that the NanoProfessor curriculum will be integrated in the Engineering Materials class and will provide students with an understanding about nanoscience and its application.
Dean Hart, the Chief Commercial Officer of NanoInk said that "It is our pleasure to declare that North Central State College is the first school in Ohio to add the NanoProfessor into its ongoing science and engineering curriculum and we will be delighted to work with NC State for growing its nanotechnology focus.

North Central State College is a community centered educational organization offering supreme quality technical education to the citizens of north central Ohio.

A breakthrough in nanotechnology by researchers at Boston College and MIT could lead to increased economic interest in solar panels. Researchers have improved the efficiency of solar-thermal flat panels by seven to eight times using nanonstructured thermoelectric materials to create a better light absorbing surface. The material was then placed within an energy-trapping, vacuum-sealed flat panel.

The combination of these two changes resulted in the improved overall efficiency of electricity production, and opens the door to expanding the technology's economic potential. Another exciting advance is the development of a flat panel hybrid that is capable of generating hot water and electricity in the same system. The ability of this new technology to generate electricity by improving existing technology at a minimal expense makes it an appealing option from a cost standpoint.

Experts are of the opinion and belief that Nanotechnology (also known as nanotech) is going to be principal sunrise industry of the 21st Century. Although Nanotechnology is a recent development in the field of scientific research, innumerable primary and ancillary business modules have been developed around the wide ranging applications of Nanotechnology.

Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology presented a report recently, in which it estimates the Nanotechnology based products industry to register an impressive growth rate of 19% between 2011 & 2013. The report further forecasts the Nanotechnology industry to reach revenues of $2.4 trillion by 2015.

This Industry has been able to sustain such phenomenal growth as a result of the huge investments in research and development by government agencies and leading corporate across the globe. This is a clear indication and testimony of the immense growth potential of the Nanotechnology industry

A company specializing in energy conserving solutions is making nanotechnology news by declaring its intentions to start a number of pilot projects in association with universities and hospitals across the US to make steam processing equipment more efficient using the company's Nansulate thermal insulation and corrosion prevention coatings.

The company, called Industrial Nanotech, is working to introduce universities and hospitals to their energy-saving coatings, which can bring significant energy-saving benefits to these organizations. The company had earlier assisted Erenko Textile company in reducing its energy consumption y 20%, which ended up saving them a total of 10% in production costs. It also allowed another sports apparel producing company to cut down its level of liquid natural gas consumption to 20%. The total savings for this company amounted to around $852,000 in 2007 and 2008.

Nanotechnology deals with science of substances which are one – billionth of a meter in size. The use of nanotechnology in latest sunscreens is quiet effective; developers are making use of nanoparticles of zinc and titanium in newer formulations, titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have been broadly used as ingredients of sunscreens for years.

NDS (Nanodermatology society) has made an announcement through its statement that nanotechnology used in sunscreen is safe as per their data. Physicians at NDS studying medical and scientific aspects of nanotechnology along with dermatology explained that sunscreen with nanoparticles compared to conventional sunscreens provide greater protection from UV rays.

But various organizations and regulation bodies are skeptic about the safety of nanotechnology used in the sunscreens; they doubt the properties of nano-materials used in them, as they might be toxic in nature.

A major development has recently taken place in the nanotechnology and health sectors.

IBM, the technology major, has completed work on the invention of nanobots, capable of homing onto and destroying bacteria present in living systems, including the human body.

These nanobots were developed by the company in their research labs at San Jose, California. The nanobots are essentially prepared using high-tech plastic which is bio-degradable, 50,000 times smaller than the width of a single hair strand with specific charges on it, which facilitate movement towards the drug resistant bacteria.

This innovation of nanotechnology could be a possible solution for the $34 billion public health issue of drug immune bacteria.

These nanobots were designed by IBM's lead scientist, James Hedrick, who along with help from counterparts based in the Singapore based, Institute for Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, made the nanobots specifically targeting the methicillin resistant bacteria, named, Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most prevalent drug resistant species of all bacteria types.

Nanotechnolgy is making revolutionary changes in our lives with his plethora of applications. Now, the lateste nanotech news is that a a Montreal-based researchers has used it to target cancer cells. This is the first of its kind and is expected to revolutionize the way cancer is treated.

In a recent experiment, Sylvain Martel, the director of the nanorobotics lab at Polytechnique Montreal, guided remote controlled microcarriers loaded with a dose of an anti-cancer drug through the bloodstream of a living rabbit to the animal's liver, where the drug was administered successfully.

According t Martel and his team of researchers, this breakthrough will help improve chemoemobolization which is a treatment for liver cancer by blocking blood supply to a tumour. Although the experiment was done on a rabbit, there is no reason why it can't be applied on humans. Hopefully, this revolutionary technique to cure cancer through the use of nanotech will be available worldwide soon.

Om Nanotech Pvt Ltd announces the expansion of its range of memory products with the launch of Dolgix products. The Dolgix range comprises RAMs with capacities of 512 MB to 4GB, USB pen drives varying from 2 GB to 32 GB, FLASH cards with capacities of 2GB, 4GB, 8GB and 16GB and USB drives supporting all Microsoft operating systems with storage space of 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB.

With the new product range, Om Nanotech is enabling general users to achieve enhanced performance with very fast data transfer rates. This makes it speedier and less cumbersome for users to get access to rich digital content.

Director of Om Nanotech, Atul Khosla, says that Dolgix was born out of the overwhelming response received for Zipmem. The success of Zipmem encouraged Om Nanotech to come up with the Dolgix range that aims to set a new benchmark in quality, reliability and performance. The Dolgix range, he adds, will once again reinforce the leadership of Om Nanotech Pvt Ltd worldwide.
