European nano-community looks into the future... More funding, better infrastructure Broad support (79%) is expressed for a significant increase in funding for nanotechnology in the next EU RTD Framework Programme (FP7) compared to the level under FP6. Some respondents (25%) call for a doubling of the budget or more, while only 12% want the same budget or less. Divided opinions exist as to whether FP7 should be oriented more towards basic research or towards applied research; this division of opinion is reflected in the academic/industrial origin of respondents. Europe is seen to be lacking a coherent system of infrastructure, and boosting critical mass is identified as the most critical issue (90%). As well as endorsing the value of raising the awareness and exploitation of existing infrastructure, most respondents highlight the need for a new large-scale infrastructure at European (64%) and national/regional level (34%). A number of responses stress the importance of cross-disciplinary infrastructure in fields such as nanomedicine, nanomaterials and information technology/nanoelectronics. Strategic needs Concerns regarding human resources are widely expressed, with almost half of the participants fearing a shortage of skilled personnel for the nanotechnology sector within ten years and a further quarter forecasting shortages in as little as five years. The survey responses identify the development of nanotechnology education and training as particularly urgent: 90% of ...
The Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision is a fun science competition that encourages students of all grade levels to imagine what technology might be like in the future. All it takes is a teacher sponsor like you to get your students excited and fuel their excitement for learning. From water fountains to hearing aids to nanotubes, your teams will choose a technology that is relevant to the world today and then explore what it does, how it works and how, when and why it was invented. Then your teams will imagine their chosen technology 20 years from now and prepare an in-depth report that conveys their visions to others. ExploraVision is a hands-on, minds-on project that simulates real research and development to inspire students and fuel imagination. The ExploraVision program has awarded $4440000 to more than 287000 participants since its inception in 1992; up to $240000 in savings bonds and Toshiba products are awarded each year.

www.tradethemarkets.com Even though daily charts look bad, the weekly charts of the indexes are bullish. The market has been inundated with bad news and still it continues making higher lows. Do not fight this. The stock market is tricky. I do not want to be aggressively short because I think we have a shot of trading into the upper range. I like the way the AAPLs and GOOGs of the world are behaving. No chart is more bullish right now than 10-year notes. The daily has fired off a long. Does it make sense for the 10-year to be so bullish? Can rates go any lower? Not really, but this is where money is flowing to for safety. I expect a dead cat bounce in Crude as it is beginning to mimic the stock market. As is AUD/JPY. To me it feels like everything wants to go lower, but the weekly charts say otherwise. I look for Gold to get a dead cat bounce and then trade sideways. Both it and silver will remain under pressure heading into next year. Silver has fired off a short squeeze so any rallies can be shorted. The big problem with the markets right now is financials. They are what destroyed the market today. Goldman Sachs has gotten hammered. It is difficult for a market to rally without the participation of the financials. No participation from other sectors is fine, but not financials. The Dollar Index is very bullish. Look for consolidation around its resistance level of 81. Do I expect the dollar to move significantly higher? Yes. This has to do with the global recession ...
