Close-up on Nanotechnology

Summary:

As we are now at the dawn of Horizon 2020, we decided to focus this magazine on some of the latest EU research achievements under the FP7- NMP programme. This makes for a truly horizontal ‘special’ section, with themes including art conservation, electronics, water purification, clothing, building and construction and nanosafety.

These specials include two interviews. The first is with Sabine Paulussen, who presents the outcomes of NANOPUR and its new membrane technology to improve the efficiency of water purification. Then, Prof. Piero Baglioni introduces NANOFORART, a project with ambitions to help restorers in their difficult mission to preserve ancient works of art. The special section is followed by the usual
