NAS Publication Summarizes Presentations From Nanoparticles Workshop

A new publication from National Academy of Sciences summarizes the presentations and discussions from a workshop that explored new opportunities, challenges and approaches to characterizing small particles and understanding their impacts.

Held by the National Research Council’s Chemical Sciences Roundtable, the workshop included presentations highlighting the critical importance of small particles in environmental science, materials and chemical sciences, biological science and engineering. Also, several presentations highlighted new advances in characterizing small particles, including static, dynamic, experimental, computational and theoretical approaches.

The summary publication, Challenges in Characterizing Small Particles: Exploring Particles From the Nano- to Microscales, may be downloaded free in PDF form, or a paperback edition is available for purchase.
