[Keystone Nano, NTI funded company]

A company moving into the Hershey Center for Applied Research works with materials on a molecular scale.

"It's smaller. Therefore, you need less, so a lot of the toxicity issues go away. If you can put a lower concentration of Taxol into a breast cancer, then you don't need to lose hair," said Anthony Green, director of the Nanotechnology Institute of the southeast region of Ben Franklin Technology Partners. Keystone Nano has gotten funding from the institute.

 
Healthy & Green: China in Greater Philadelphia's Future

September conference brings China focus and resources on offer for the region’s economic development

Philadelphia, PA (PRWEB) June 9, 2010 -- Greater Philadelphia’s business relevance to China may not be immediately obvious. Fortunately for the region, what the rising power vitally needs includes resources where the Tri-State area has strength: innovation in biomedicine, a determined focus on and a promising resource-base related to clean tech, and new paradigms for financing tech investment.

Biorefinery concept shows a way out of a world dominated by petrochemicals

Posted: Jun 1st, 2010

Developing chemicals, molecular precursors, and industrial products from petroleum resources is a conventional practice. Plastics, detergents, even pharmaceuticals are derived from petrochemicals. With an increasing focus on the economic and environmental issues associated with the processing of petroleum-based chemicals, scientists are seeking for alternative routes to develop molecules from naturally available plant or crop-based raw materials. Particularly interesting for the fields of nanotechnology is the design and development of soft nanomaterials from renewable sources. Generating these materials from renewable resources could have a significant... nanotechnology article
