The Nano Science and Technology Consortium (NSTC) is a private industry association founded in 2005 to offer learning and knowledge services in nanotechnology.
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:
“The natural historian is not a fisherman who prays for cloudy days and good luck merely; but as fishing has been styled “a contemplative man’s recreation,” introducing him profitably to woods and water, so the fruit of the naturalist’s observations is not in new genera or species, but in new contemplations still, and science is only a more contemplative man’s recreation.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“One can prove or refute anything at all with words. Soon people will perfect language technology to such an extent that they’ll be proving with mathematical precision that twice two is seven.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
