Professors at Arizona State University's Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law and the Center for Nanotechnology in Society at ASU have received a federal grant to pursue their research of nanotechnology regulation. The $248,230 award, "Governing Nanotechnology Risks and Benefits in the Transition to Regulation," from the US Department of Energy Office of Science, will enable the researchers to evaluate novel "soft law" mechanisms for oversight of the technology. ...> Full Article

Oil and water don't mix, but add in some nanofibers and all bets are off. A team of UCLA chemists and engineers has developed a new method for coating large surfaces with nanofiber thin films that are both transparent and electrically conductive. Their method involves the vigorous agitation of water, dense oil, and polymer nanofibers. After this solution is sufficiently agitated it spreads over virtually any surface, creating a thin film. ...> Full Article
