2024年8月7日 · Overview Nanotechnology Research Center Anniversary To celebrate our 20th anniversary, NIOSH has developed a series of blogs and videos highlighting the accomplishments and future directions of the NTRC. We also hosted a Health and Safety Summit at the University of Cincinnati on October 9-10, 2024 (Nanotechnology day). The event drew over 100 online …

2024年8月9日 · Overview The Nanotechnology Research Center conducts research and provides guidance on the occupational safety and health implications and applications of advanced materials and nanotechnology. NIOSH conducts nanotechnology research and develops methods to control or eliminate exposures to nanoparticles.

Nanotechnology—the manipulation of matter on a near-atomic scale to produce new structures, materials, and devices—offers the promise of unprecedented scientific advancement for many sec-tors, such as medicine, consumer products, energy, materials, and manufacturing.

NIOSH is using this Nanotechnology Research Plan for 2018–2025 as a roadmap to advance (1) understanding of nanotechnology-related toxicology and workplace exposures and (2) imple-mentation of appropriate risk management practices during the discovery, development, and com-mercialization of engineered nanomaterials along their product lifecycle.

2019年1月23日 · Nanotechnology and the commercialization of products and devices containing engineered nanomaterials could help address critical global problems concerning energy, transportation, pollution, health, and food. The potential benefits of nanotechnology are immense.

A Story of Impact: Nanotechnology is defined as the ability to manipulate and control matter at a size of 1 to 100 nanometers. For perspective, there are one billion nanometers in 1 meter; a single sheet of paper is 100,000 nanometers thick. 1 Nanotechnology is a rapidly developing field with the potential to revolutionize countless areas of technology and industry. Current applications …
