Setting Ground Rules for Nanotechnology Research

August 19, 2015

(Physorg) – In two new studies, researchers from across the country spearheaded by Duke University faculty have begun to design the framework on which to build the emerging field of nanoinformatics. Nanoinformatics is, as the name implies, the combination of nanoscale research and informatics. It attempts to determine which information is relevant to the field and then develop effective ways to collect, validate, store, share, analyze, model and apply that information—with the ultimate goal of helping scientists gain new insights into human health, the environment and more.
