Lowell scientist: Nanotechnology help needed
UMass-Lowell
March 12, 2008
WASHINGTON — A Lowell scientist and other top researchers warned Congress yesterday that new inventions using microscopic nanoparticles could plummet into the "valley of death." The analogy refers to the gap that often prevents lab-based developments from becoming mass-produced gadgets that promise to conserve energy, aid wartime soldiers and provide cures for disease. Making that leap is critical for the University of Massachusetts Lowell, home to one of the nation's few nanotechnology centers. The school is investing its future on the field and plans to break ground this year on an $80 million nanotechnology facility.
