  1. 6. Too Enabling to Fail – Ethics and Practices in the Legitimation of Nanotechnology

    Författare :Nicholas Surber; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; enabling technology; responsible research and innovation; legitimation crisis; applied ethics; risk sociology; political economy of research and innovation; research and innovation policy; nanotechnology; technoscientific capitalism; emerging technology;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis reads Beck’s Risk Society in the context of nanotechnology and the politicization of failure in the promise of enabling technologies. It aims to investigate how researchers and innovators legitimate nanotechnology in society. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Fabrication and characterization of ZnO nanostructures for sensing and photonic device applications

    Författare :Syed M. Usman Ali; Magnus Willander; Omer Nour; Frank Bier; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Nanotechnology; zinc oxide; nanowires nanorods; nanotubes; nanoporous nanoflakes; electrochemical sensor and photonic devices;

    Sammanfattning : Nanotechnology is an emerging inter-disciplinary paradigm which encompasses diverse fields of science and engineering converge at the nanoscale. This nanoscale science and nanostructure engineering have well demonstrated in the fabrication of sensors/transducers devices with faster response time and better sensitivity then the planer version of the sensor’s configurations.
