MIND over matter South Bend Tribune By NICOLE RESNICK Blue Waters Group The current technology that powers modern day electronics the complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) switch is about to hit a wall. The common goal of the Semiconductor Research Corp.s Nanoelectronics Research Initiative, which established MIND and three other national nanoelectronics research centers, is to win the race to develop the next nanoscale device that will replace CMOS technology. Essentially, these researchers are creating new building blocks for future generations of computers. Collaboration is an important component of the research under way at MIND, which now comprises more than 25 investigators at eight different institutions around the country. Led by Notre Dame, MIND also includes researchers at Cornell University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Pennsylvania State University, Purdue University, University of Illinois, University of Michigan and University of Texas. |

January 25th, 2010 USEPA slated to propose new nanomaterial rules in 2010 Abstract: Last month, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) reported in its Unified Agenda that two rules related to nanomaterials may be proposed this year. The first possible regulation is a reporting rule for as yet unspecified nanoscale materials under Section 8 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). A notice of this proposed rulemaking is slated for June 2010. The second possible regulation, under Section 4 of TSCA, is a test rule for certain multi-wall carbon nanotubes as well as nanoscale clay and alumina. USEPA reported that notice of the test rule is scheduled to be published in November 2010. Source: lexology.com |
