Nano Says No to IPO
On second thought, never mind. Just the other day we were discussing the
potential for Nanosys to bring back the heady days of Internet, dot-com
IPOs, where a company with no commercial products or profit was creating

Norway Makes Plans to Advance Materials and Nano technologies
A major foresight project on materials technology has been launched to put
Norway's need for expertise in nano- and materials technology on the
agenda.
Norway hasn't had a general R&D strategy for materials technology or
nanotechnology since the 1980's and is far behind the USA and the rest of
Europe. In 1999, Bill Clinton allocated 500 million US dollars to nano
research through the Nanotech Initiative. The same year, the Norwegian
White
Paper on Research was presented without mentioning nanotechnology or
materials technology with a word. In 2002, however, the Research Council
made nano- and materials technology a priority through the NANOMAT
programme. more
