National Library of Medicine adds nano-materials to Hazardous Substances Databank
NLM has added a few nano-materials to the HSDB, a resource for health effects of chemicals. Try a search for 'nano' (no quotes) for the new records (plus a few non-nanoscale results, like NaNO2, Sodium Nitrite).
Nanotechnology Spotlight from Nature's Scitable
An excellent overview of the concepts and concerns regarding nanotechnology. Includes links to articles, audio, and video.
Frontiers of Characterization and Metrology for Nanoelectronics, Publications and Talks
Full conference proceedings from this semiconductor conference, provided by the American Institute of Physics and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Also on the AIP website.

Google Scholar

Google Scholar is Google's version of a library database. Google Scholar searches publishers' websites, academic sites (.edu), and other "scholarly" resources. Some of our own databases are covered, so you can use Google Scholar to search ScienceDirect, JSTOR, and BioOne all at the same time. However, many of the articles are not available directly to non-subscribers. By adding SCSU/Buley Library to Scholar's Preferences on your computer, you can access our subscriptions as well as whatever is free on the web. See the Guide to Google Scholar below for instructions on setting the preferences, and for search tips.
