Project Papers

• December 12, 2007 A Survey of Environmental, Health and Safety Risk Management Information Needs and Practices among Nanotechnology Firms in the Massachusetts Region PEN Brief No. 1 John Lindberg and Margaret Quinn, University of Massachusetts Lowell
• May 1, 2007 Developing Story: Nanotechnology and Low-Income Nations NanoFrontiers 2, Summer 2007 The second issue of the newsletter explores the question of whether developing nations will fully share in the anticipated benefits of nanotechnology—predicted to be the driving force for the next industrial revolution.
• March 1, 2007 On the Horizons of Medicine and Healthcare NanoFrontiers 1, May 2007 The NanoFrontiers newsletter reports on achievements toward realizing the immense potential of nanotechnology. It continues and updates the discussion begun at the February 2006 NanoFrontiers workshop, co-sponsored by the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, National Institutes of Health, and National Science Foundation. Issues will provide samplings of recent developments in selected areas—accomplishments that hint at new nanotechnology-enabled tools, products, and applications that can be used for the good of humankind and the planet. This inaugural issue focuses on nanomedicine, highlighting a few nanotechnology developments on the path toward improvements in human health and healthcare. Cancer-focused efforts illustrate the progress and the promise of nanotechnology.
