Skip Rung appointed to the NSF SBIR/STTR advisory committee

Oregon Nanoscience and Microtechnologies Institute (ONAMI) was one of six organizations named winners of SSTI’s 2012 Excellence in TBED award, serving as national models for states and regions investing in science, technology and innovation to grow their economies and create high-paying jobs.

SNNI is sponsoring the Nanoinformatics Tools and Resources Workshop in Portland, Oregon on July 30, 2012 at the Courtyard Marriott Portland City Center.

Microflow CVO,^TM  a company spun off from research in the Oregon State University Microproducts Breakthrough Institute (MBI), has launched its first product line of stainless steel micromixers.

Using high-precision microscopy and X-ray scattering techniques, University of Oregon researchers have gained eye-opening insights into the process of applying green chemistry to nanotechnology that results in high yields, improves efficiency and dramatically reduces waste and potential negative exposure to human health or the environment.

A new facility dedicated to integrative science activities at the University of Oregon is now under construction. The Lewis Integrative Science Building is slated for completion by fall 2012 and will house facilities for nanotechnology, solar energy, neuroscience, and molecular biology research. Check out the construction webcam and find out more about the research and researchers on the integrative science website.

The Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry hosts the first in its webinar series: Intellectual Property, Tech Transfer and YOU on February 2, 2012 from 12:00pm-1:00pm Pacific Standard Time (3:00pm-4:00pm Eastern Standard Time)

If you've used silverware and worn copper jewelry in a warm, humid room, you've been in a perfect storm in which nanoparticles were dropped into the environment, say scientists at the University of Oregon.

Ever since nanotechnology emerged, researchers, regulators and the public have been concerned about the potential toxicity of the residual materials from nano-sized products that that might threaten human health by way of environmental exposure.

Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry (CSMC) Kickoff Event

The CSMC, a $20M National Science Foundation Center for Chemical Innovation, invites the regional community to its launch on October 24th and 25th in the Construction and Engineering Hall of the LaSells Stewart Center. 

Learn about Center outreach, education, research, and commercialization activities and participate in discussions with leading industrial technology innovators. 

SNNI, ONAMI and the American Chemical Society's Green Chemistry Institute (ACS GCI) announce the publication
