Tiny particles of silver designed to kill germs are being put into socks to control odor. But as this ScienCentral News video explains, what happens to that nanosilver later is concerning some scientists. Watch Video: (Length: 2 min 18 sec) QuickTime
UK Receives Largest EPA Grant for Nanotechnology
August 20, 2008 � The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded the largest single EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grant for the study of nanotechnology to the University of Kentucky. The $2 million grant will be used to investigate how the sizes and shapes of nanoparticles affect their ability to enter the brain. Watch Video 
Green Nanotechnology
July 24, 2008 - Some are calling it a revolution in manufacturing technology. But, will nanotechnology be a "green" industry? It�s a question that some scientists are saying needs to be answered now, before nano-tech goes big-time. This ScienCentral News video has more. Watch Video: (Length: 1 min 29 sec) Flash Movie

Poison Protector
Cleaning up after big hurricanes means more than picking up debris and putting roofs back. Very often pollutants like chemicals or sewage have spilt into air or water. As this ScienCentral News video reports, one nanotechnologist says he's made tiny detectors he calls "smart dust" that could signal chemical or biological danger. Watch Video: QuickTime | Realmedia
STAR Grantee Interviewed by the ABC Affiliate News Service
October 2, 2003 - Mike Sailor, a STAR nanotechnology grantee from the University of California, San Diego, has developed minute grains of silicon that spontaneously assemble, orient and sense their local environment, a first step toward the development of robots the size of sand grains that could be used in medicine, bioterrorism surveillance and pollution monitoring.
