Meeting the challenge of solar energy
An online public database of scientific findings related to the benefits and risks of nanotechnology has been launched by the International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON) and the Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology (CBEN) at Rice University. The environmental health and safety database aims to integrate the diverse literature available on the impact of nanoparticles 1-100 nm in size. It represents the combined efforts of the US Department of Energy, industry, and Rice researchers. Currently, the resource contains peer-reviewed papers from journals, but a separate archive of policy reports and commentaries will be added later. The project will also provide analyses for both the research community and nontechnical audiences. "There is tremendous added value in structuring the database so that anyone with a web browser, regardless of their level of scientific training, can grasp the current state of scientific understanding regarding this rapidly evolving field," says Kristen Kulinowski, executive director of CBEN and ICON,
