Nanowerk: A metamaterial concrete for the development of smart civil infrastructure systems
Nanotechnology Research Center NIOSH conducts research and provides guidance on the occupational safety and health implications and applications of advanced materials and nanotechnology through its Nanotechnology Research Center.
What is nanotechnology and where did it come from? Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of nanometer length matter (one-billionth of a meter) to produce new materials, structures, and devices. The U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI) defines a technology as nanotechnology only if it includes all of the following: Research and technology development involves structures with at ...
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. Nanoparticles are extremely small particles (between 1 and 100 nanometers) designed to ...

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.
The 10 Critical Topic Areas NIOSH has identified 10 critical topic areas for nanotechnology research and communication. This serves as a guide for NIOSH to address knowledge gaps, develop strategies, and provide recommendations. Toxicity and Internal Dose Investigating and determining the physical and chemical properties such as size, shape, solubility that influence the potential toxicity of ...
