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:
“What is done for science must also be done for art: accepting undesirable side effects for the sake of the main goal, and moreover diminishing their importance by making this main goal more magnificent. For one should reform forward, not backward: social illnesses, revolutions, are evolutions inhibited by a conserving stupidity.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“If we had a reliable way to label our toys good and bad, it would be easy to regulate technology wisely. But we can rarely see far enough ahead to know which road leads to damnation. Whoever concerns himself with big technology, either to push it forward or to stop it, is gambling in human lives.”
—Freeman Dyson (b. 1923)
