President Barack Obama, accompanied by New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, center, holds a silicon wafer, as they tour the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering at State University of New York at Albany’s Nano-Tech complex, Tuesday, May 8, 2012, in Albany, N.Y., with Chris Borst, assistant V.P. for Engineering and Integration Continue reading
Kids visit Nano College after Obama
Posted at: 05/09/2012 5:08 PM | Updated at: 05/09/2012 6:24 PM By: Andrew Murphy By mere coincidence, Wednesday was career day at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering. About 300 middle and high school students roamed around as the staff recounted their day with the leader of the free world. Were they nervous, of course, But Chris Borst and Warren Montgomery got some great advice from the Secret Service before they guided the Presidents tour. Continue reading
Obama, Cuomo touring Nano college
ALBANY Instead of a new initiative or a dose of fresh funding, President Barack Obama used his third trip to the Capital Region to offer a “to do list” for Congress that included tax incentives and action to prevent student loan interest rates from doubling. The Democratic President took the stage Tuesday in a half-finished clean room at the University at Albany’s College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering to offer his election-year vision of the future. “Now I want what’s happening in Albany to happen all across the country places like Cleveland and Pittsburgh and Raleigh,” Obama said.

Nano-Sensors for Explosive Detection — University Collaboration Addresses Challenges in Explosive Detection
ANN ARBOR, MI–(Marketwire -05/09/12)- This month, the Naval Engineering Education Center heads south to check in on the progress being made on a collaborative project involving Tennessee State University and Florida Atlantic University where NEEC investigators and students are looking at ways to detect explosives using nano-sensor technology while protecting troops, saving lives and building the future of our engineering workforce. Explosive devices, like Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs), are responsible for a significant amount of causalities to United States and NATO forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. In fact, according to a USA Today news story published last year, IEDs accounted for more than 40% of all deaths caused during the war in Afghanistan in 2010 Continue reading

Nano-Subs Grab and Move Oil Spills
Scientists say they have built a self-propelled “microsubmarine” that can scoop up oil from contaminated waters and take the droplets to a collection facility. While environmental engineers have used bacterial dispersant to break down oil spills for decades and are developing genetically modified organisms to “eat” oil, this would be the first controllable spill-buster. PHOTOS: Beauty of the Nano Art World “These are autonomous self-propelled motors,” said Joseph Wang, distinguished professor of nano-engineering at the University of California, San Diego.
