Nano-Bio Policy Soon, Says Minister of State at ASSOCHAM organized special session
The government will come out with a nano-biotechnology policy soon. The policy would include measures to harness the huge potential of the technologies. The policy will also consist of financial support schemes to promote these two emerging technologies. Stating this at ASSOCHAM organized, special session on ‘Nano Financing & Policy’, Mr Pawan Kumar Bansal, minister of state for finance said the government would shortly arrange for interactive sessions with industry chambers, scientific and engineering community and all concerned stake holders to obtain inputs and suggestions, so that industry’s view point and suggestions are incorporated in its new nano-biotechnology policy.

Tiny buckyballs squeeze hydrogen like giant Jupiter
Hydrogen could be a clean, abundant energy source, but it's difficult to store in bulk. In new research, materials scientists at Rice University have made the surprising discovery that tiny carbon capsules called buckyballs are so strong they can hold volumes of hydrogen nearly as dense as those at the center of Jupiter.

Two-photon nanoparticles for the improved detection of tumor cells
Researchers from several CNRS-associated laboratories have succeeded in synthesizing porous nanoparticles that are capable of absorbing the energy of two photons in the near infrared spectrum, and then re-emitting radiation used for medical imaging by fluorescence. These two-photon nanoparticles should enable the more precise detection of tumor cells and, in the longer term, better-targeted therapy
