Nanotechnology webinar series on regulatory issues

Building on last year's popular webinars on the regulation of nanotechnology, Keller and Heckman and NanoReg are pleased to announce Nanotechnology Today 2010, a series of four new webinars designed to address important regulatory issues and the challenges associated with the safe development of nano-enhanced products.

Nanomachines in the powerhouse of the cell

Scientists of the University of Freiburg and the University of Frankfurt have elucidated the architecture of the largest protein complex of the cellular respiratory chain. They discovered an unknown mechanism of energy conversion in this molecular complex. The mechanism is required to utilize the energy contained in food.
