What does “Graphene” really look like and why is it not ‘carbon nanotubes’: 18 January 2022; Read the latest Nanopinion guest column from Dr. Alberto Bianco, Dr. Maurizio Prato and Dr. Kostas Kostarelos, from Graphene Flagship, about graphene and why it’s not the same as carbon nanotubes.

21 December 2021 ACEnano: Goobdye, Hello

Read the latest Nanopinion guest column from Dr. Eugenia Valsami-Jones about ACEnano, a Horizon2020 project which has recently completed its 4.5-year course. The main goal of the project was to strengthen clarity into nanomaterial risk assessment by a tiered approach to nanomaterials physiochemical characterisation.
15 November 2021 Despite limited information on nanomaterials in waste, existing data is valuable for waste operators

A new report shows that limited data is available on the amount of waste streams containing nanomaterials in the EU. However, despite this, existing public data on waste is highly valuable for waste managers, scientists, regulatory bodies, and potentially consumers.
4 November 2021 Nanomaterials at the working place – invisible but not negligible

Read the latest Nanopinion guest column from Dr. Michael Riediker about nanomaterials at the workplace. Curiosities a few years ago, nanomaterials are now part of our lives. When talking about the workplace, protective measures and guidance are needed.

Nanomaterials and health

Are substances in nanoforms more dangerous than they are in their normal size? Some are and some are not. Just like any other chemical substance, nanomaterials have to be assessed separately.

Fighting cancer using nanotechnology

Nanomaterials are not only used in consumer products, but also in new and innovative medical treatments. Research has shown that nanoparticles can be used to damage and even destroy cancer cells from within.
