Starting then, it has published two periodicals. The journal NanoTrends, a journal of nanoscience and technology, is published in online format every two months and printed every six months. It provides for the accelerated publication of research articles related to the nano domain and its applications. The online newsletter NanoSpectacle is published monthly. It summarizes the last months developments related to nano world and covers topics like coming events, new books released, book reviews etc.
The society has launched the distance learning "Nanotechnology Sensitization Program". which provides guidance to its students on various subjects and areas of Nano Science and Technology. It also sponsors workshops and other educational events.
Famous quotes containing the words science and/or technology:
“I’ve been asked to give some words of advice for young women entering library/information science education. Does anyone ever take advice? The advice we give is usually what we would do or would have done if we had the chance, and the advice that’s taken, if ever, is often what we wanted to hear in the first place.”
—Phyllis Dain (b. 1930)
“Technology is not an image of the world but a way of operating on reality. The nihilism of technology lies not only in the fact that it is the most perfect expression of the will to power ... but also in the fact that it lacks meaning.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
