Nanotechnology White Paper Released for Journalists

The Nanotech Company, a nanotechnology consulting group, has released the first nanotechnology white paper for journalists, reviewers, interviewers and researchers in television, radio, internet and print medias. The report covers the inside stories about nano forms (like gray goo), why properties count more than size in nanoparticles, differentiating hype from science, and other critical information that members of the media need to know before writing on nanotechnology topics.

Darrell Brookstein, author of The Best of the NanoWeek comments that, "There is a real need to provide non-scientist media members an easy-to-understand, solid basis for approaching nanotech, nano-companies and interviews with the influencers in labs, government, finance or industry. This short paper sets the record straight, without hype, and allows the media-member to start from a more sophisticated baseline. Everyone interested in nanotech would benefit from it.” Nathan Tinker, a founder of the NanoBusiness Alliance, wrote the paper. The report is free and available at http://www.nanotechnology.com.
