A look at The Hastings Centre Bioethics Forum

For anybody interested in taking an overview of current debate on bioethics, the Hastings Center bioethics forum would be a good starting point. I say this not only because the forum hosts the Centre’s own bioethics blog, well informed and non partizan as ever, but also because it provides links to many other blogs addressing ...

New Developments in Solar Power Technology

One of the great challenges facing the renewable energy industry is that of how to make energy production cheaper for the end user, and this problem is particularly pertinent for photovoltaic solar panels. The real problem in this case is production and raw material cost, with silicon forming a large part of overall expenses. Here ... New Developments in Solar Power Technology

Regulating nanotechnology through private actors?

by Brice Laurent While some public officials claim that the potential risks of nanotechnology will be managed as early as possible, numerous questions are raised about the relevance of existing regulation for the many different nano-products. The standards and codes that are being experimented are, at this time, mostly voluntary and emerge from a range ... Regulating nanotechnology through private actors?

Asking the relevant questions about public participation

by Brice Laurent Participatory experiments in nanotechnology have been numerous, but their outcomes are uncertain. Some have criticized the little interest these mechanisms have received in policy circles. Local examples can help illustrate the difficulties that participatory experiments face. The Grenoble case is telling for that matter. Grenoble is a city in the French Alps, ... Asking the relevant questions about public participation
