IEEE Blogger Comments on Nanosilver Article

Posted on January 5, 2010 by John C. Monica, Jr.

Earlier today, an IEEE blogger commented on a nanosilver article we previously re-published on this cite.   The original article was written by the Silver Nanotechnology Working Group and was first published on the University of Massachusetts, Amherst's InterNano website (where I am Contibuting Editor for Environmental, Health and Safety and Regulation). 

Dexter Johnson comments on the Nanoclast blog of IEEE's Spectrum website:

"In what must come as a blow to NGOs around the world it turns out that the material that has fueled much of their indignation about nanotechnology, nanosilver, has not only been 'rationally manufactured, regulated, and used commercially for over a century with no significant adverse environmental, health, and safety effects', but also the EPA has specifically been looking at nanosilver as far back as the 1950s."

New Blog on Nanomedicine

Posted on September 2, 2008 by Michael E. Heintz

For those of you interested in nanomedicine issues specifically, I wanted to make you aware of a new blog worth reading.  The Nanomedicine and IP Blog is a newly created site by Luca Escoffier, a PhD student at Queen Mary, University of London and is a Transatlantic Technology Law Forum (TTLF) fellow at Standford writing his dissertation on patenting medical nanotechnology inventions. Luca is now in the U.S. as visiting fellow at the University of Washington (and tells me he is enjoying Seattle).  Should be an interesting look into the specific field of nanomedicine as the sector develops.
