RMIT University has been commissioned by the Office of the Australian Safety and Compensation Council (ASCC) to examine options for substitution/modification of engineered nanomaterials, to reduce the
potential hazards associated with handling the materials in the
workplace.

The project is part of the Nanotechnology OHS Program, in support of the National Nanotechnology Strategy.

The Europeanean Commission and in particular its SCENIHR - Scientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks has published a 56 page review of risks associated with manufactured nanomaterials.

This Opinion deals with the recent developments in the risk assessment of nanomaterials for both man and the environment. The in-depth characterisation of a manufactured nanomaterial on the basis of its physical-chemical characteri

I read with interest that the Large Hadron Collider of LHC is now broken and will be out of operation until 2009. Turns out a faulty electrical connection caused a helium leak. A fairly straight forward and simple problem - other than the fact that the LHC is run at cryogenic temperatures. It's going to take two months just to get the damaged sector back to room temperature s

This month is set to be huge, as the world waits with baited breath for results that can be measured in tiny fractions of a second, with minute distances and weights making all the difference to the conclusion of each event. All of this will be the culmination of years of dedication, hard work and sacrifice - not to mention the many billions of dollars invested in unknown potentials.

All this will occur under the banner of collective harmony of nations gathered with a common in
