    Nanotechnology is ancient history

    In the antiquities, nanoparticles were used by the Damascans to create swords with exceptionally sharp edges and the Romans to craft iridescent glassware. So were these archaic artisans also nanotechnologists? And what can today's scientists learn from such historic artefacts?

    Nanotechnology Q&A

    At a recent seminar which discussed the ethics and challenges of nanotechnology being used to prolong life, a number of questions were posted to the panellists online that could not be covered during the live-streamed debate. Professor Mark Miodownik, a materials scientist at University College London and member of the panel at the seminar, picks up where the debate left off …
