Nanotechnology is the Present | Dr Fred Lam
Nanotechnology is a term that may still sound futuristic or sci-fi for the general public, but the truth is, it is more present than ever in plenty of fields. In medicine, this technology is already being used inside the operation rooms and to treat cancer patients, and even though it is still researched and funded privately, it certainly makes us wonder about its potential to improve our lives in the health, technological and everyday aspects of our lives. In this episode, Dr. Rosie Sendher and Dr. Erica Fisk sit down with Dr. Fred Lam to chat about the possibilities...

Ep 3. Nanoparticles in Electric Car Batteries: How Do We Study Sustainability?
Welcome to episode 3 of the Sustainable Nano podcast! In this episode, we talk about a recent research study that looked at how one type of battery nanomaterial affects bacteria called Shewanella oneidensis. We interview Mimi Hang and Ian Gunsolus, who were co-first authors of the study as graduate students in the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology. The Nissan Leaf is one example of an electric car that uses NMC in its batteries (image by Tennen-Gas) https://sustainablenano.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/nmc-091416.mp3 The study may sound familiar to regular blog read...

Ep 1. Why Do We Care About Sustainable Nanotechnology?
What does “Sustainable Nano” even mean? On this pilot episode of our brand new podcast, we talk with the Director of the Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology, along with students, faculty, and a few complete strangers about some questions related to our Center’s research: What is nanotechnology? What is sustainability? And what does it mean when we put the two terms together? https://sustainablenano.files.wordpress.com/2016/09/pilot-sept6-9616-4-40-pm.mp3 We’ll be posting new episodes of the podcast Monday through Thursday this week, so stay tuned!

The Wonder of Reality
Episode 14: Nanotechnology
Few technologies could revolutionize the world as completely as nanotechnology. Artificial intelligence would help us work smarter, solve complex problems, and perhaps even educate us while quantum computing has untold potential to quickly solve repetitive tasks and could be harnessed to better our lives in a myriad of ways. Nanotechnology could outdo both of them by a making a world of material wealth for everyone to the point of absurdity. Listen to episode 3 of Miniseries 3: The Technologies of Tomorrow and let us know what you’d want to see from nanotechnology in the comments below. Links: Our S...
