• Nanotechnology — or maybe chemistry — to make greenhouse gas into feedstock

  It can be hard to tell whether a given piece of research is nanotechnology or “just” chemistry. In this case, I would’ve said the latter, but Nanoforum carried the story (free reg. reg’d), so it’s honorary nanotech at least. In Read more
