The NanoMaterials Innovation Center is providing no cost equipment training to New York-based small-to-medium sized companies (50 or less employees).
MIT researchers have developed a new technique for magnetically separating oil and water that could be used to clean up oil spills. They believe that, with their technique, the oil could be recovered for use, offsetting much of the cost of cleanup.

A research group at the NIMS International Center for Materials Nanoarchitectonics (MANA) succeeded in the development of band diagram measurement system in atmospheric condition for organic semiconductor materials. http://www.nims.go.jp/eng/news/press/2012/08/p201208270.html
The Academy of Finland has granted EUR1.6 million to a consortium based at Tampere University of Technology (TUT) under the “Programmable Materials” funding scheme. The project runs from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2016 and is entitled “Photonically Addressed Zero Current Logic through Nano-Assembly of Functionalised Nanoparticles to Quantum Dot Cellular Automata” (PhotonicQCA). The project combines expertise from the departments of Electronics, Chemistry and Bioengineering and Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) to look at the unique possibilities of combining organic chemistry, semiconductor growth and nanofabrication to put the basis of a visionary technology platform for future nanoelectronic devices and logic circuits. PhotonicQCA fits well to the objectives of the Programmable Materials scheme, which looks for visionary new ways to use materials.
