UK universities are world-leading nanotechnology research centers, backed up by strategic public investment.

Image Credit:Olivier Le Moal/Shutterstock.com

Public funding for science and technology in the UK is overseen by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), and funded through the UK Governments Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The funding landscape is dynamic and changes frequently, but the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) is responsible for much public investment into nanotechnology research, while other councils such as the Medical Research Council (MRC) also contribute.

The EPSRC is a UK research council that directs government funding in the form of research grants and postgraduate degree funding for (mostly) UK universities. Public funding for nanotechnology research undertaken at universities is largely granted with EPSRC funding calls.

Nanotechnology development is also privately funded in the UK in an active venture capital environment.

The UK is a world leader in graphene and carbon nanotechnology research, with the University of Manchester, in particular, remaining a focal point for international research on graphene since the two-dimensional material was first described by its own researchers a few decades ago.

In this research area, EPSRC funds research to advance theoretical knowledge, characterization, and synthesis of carbon-based nanomaterials such as graphene, graphene oxide, and carbon nanotubes.

Funding is intended to help researchers understand carbon nanomaterials properties, develop new methods for growing these materials, understand how defects influence their properties, and explore applications for nanoscale carbon-based electronics.

EPSRC is focused on funding projects with strong end-user orientated research embedded within to establish strong links with the manufacturing sector and good routes to commercialization.

Other applications for this research area include biomaterials and tissue engineering, energy storage, microelectronics, and manufacturing technologies.

In 2022, EPSRC is investing approximately 29 million in graphene and carbon nanotechnology research through university grants, with the University of Manchester receiving the largest share with nine grants totaling 10.7 million or 37% of the total funded.

The University of Cambridge, and Norwich, Nottingham, and Bristol Universities also receive a relatively large share of graphene and carbon nanotechnology-based EPSRC funding.

Functional ceramics and inorganic materials is another defined area of EPSRC funding activity that awards grants for nanotechnology research.

Areas studied include electroceramics, complex oxides, solid-state materials, inorganic 2D materials (other than carbon-based materials like graphene), and inorganic framework materials.

The council believes that advanced materials like these can have a significant impact in the UKs economy, environmental costs, and on society as a whole.

As a result, proposals that develop potential applications in areas such as microelectronics, radio frequency and microwave technology, biomaterials and tissue engineering, and materials engineering are encouraged.

EPSRC is currently investing about 68 million here, with a significant proportion of this for projects with applications in energy and manufacturing. This reflects the UKs industrial ambitions.

The Universities of Cambridge, Leeds, and Manchester, Imperial College London, and UCL receive much of the EPSRC funding under this theme. However, investment is split relatively evenly between a lot more institutions than in graphene and carbon nanotechnology.

Polymer materials is another area of EPSRC research funding that provides grants to researchers working on nanotechnology in UK institutions.

There is currently about 53 million of public investment going towards polymer materials research, with eight grants totaling 5.2 million (nearly a tenth) specifically directed for research combining progress in polymer materials with graphene and carbon nanotechnology.

Funding is to gain a better theoretical understanding of novel polymer materials such as polymer nanocomposites, develop improved synthesis and characterization approaches, and explore applications, for example, in soft nanotechnology.

The UK is a leader in polymer materials research internationally, contributing approximately 17% of research to the top 10% of highly cited publications in fields like polymerization methodology.

Nottingham and Durham Universities receive more EPSRC funding in this area than other institutions, with about 9 million each in 2022, or approximately 17% of the total amount funded for polymer materials research.

As well as EPSRC, nanotechnology research is sometimes funded by other UK government bodies. A key example is the Medical Research Council (MRC). The MRC funds research that can change lives through improved health outcomes.

The Molecular and Cellular Medicine Board (MCMB), a part of the MRC, in particular tends to fund nanotechnology research with health applications. The MCMB is focused on developing chemical, physical, and biological tools for studying and manipulating biological systems including nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and chemical biology.

MCMB also funds pharmacology research to gain a better understanding of drug delivery mechanisms, which are increasingly using nanotechnology methods to improve patient outcomes.

The board also funds research into risks posed by nanoparticles on human health.

Nanotechnology research for health and care is also funded by various charities and NGOs (non-governmental organizations).

image:A novel approach, developed by researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, provides an innovative solution to overcoming two major challenges in delivering medicinal and cosmetic remedies through the skin. Combining techniques in nanotechnology and optics, they produced tiny (nanometric) diamond particles so small that they are capable of penetrating skin to deliver these remedies. Next, they created a safe, laser-based optical method that quantifies nanodiamond penetration into the various layers of the skin and determines their location and concentration within body tissue in a non-invasive manner eliminating the need for a biopsy.Image: Nanodiamond applied on skin samples and penetrated through all skin layers: nanodiamond concentration reduces as the layer is deeper view more

The skin is one of the largest and most accessible organs in the human body, but penetrating its deep layers for medicinal and cosmetic treatments still eludes science.

Although there are some remedies -- such as nicotine patches to stop smoking -- administered through the skin, this method of treatment is rare since the particles that penetrate must be no larger than 100 nanometer (one thousandth of a centimeter). Creating effective tools using such tiny particles is a great challenge. Because the particles are so small and difficult to see, it is equally challenging to determine their exact location inside the body information necessary to ensure that they reach intended target tissue. Today such information is obtained through invasive, often painful, biopsies.

A novel approach, developed by researchers at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, provides an innovative solution to overcoming both of these challenges. Combining techniques in nanotechnology and optics, they produced tiny (nanometric) diamond particles so small that they are capable of penetrating skin to deliver medicinal and cosmetic remedies. In addition, they created a safe, laser-based optical method that quantifies nanodiamond penetration into the various layers of the skin and determines their location and concentration within body tissue in a non-invasive manner eliminating the need for a biopsy.

This innovation was just published by researchers from the University's Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, in cooperation with the Kofkin Faculty of Engineering and Department of Chemistry, in the scientific journal ACS Nano.

Nanodiamonds -- a millionth of a millimeter in size -- are produced by detonating explosives inside a closed chamber. Under these conditions high temperature and pressure cause the carbon atoms found in explosives to fuse together. The nanodiamonds created in the process are small enough to penetrate tissue and even cells -- without inflicting harm.

Nanodiamonds and drug delivery

Much like trucks that make deliveries, artificial diamonds can deliver various medications to intended targets, and their distance and location may be controlled due to the minute size of the nanodiamonds. The approach to drug delivery using nanoparticles has already proven successful in previous research.

The nanodiamonds newly-developed at Bar-Ilan University have also been proven effective antioxidants. This property ensures that particles penetrating the body are both safe and therapeutic, as their chemical properties allow them to be coated with medication prior to their insertion into the body.

Tracking nanodiamonds through optics

The optical method developed by the research team enables them to identify relative nanodiamond concentrations of particles in the different layers of skin (epidermis, dermis and fat) through safe and non-invasive sensing based on a blue wavelength laser, a unique finding in itself given the fact that red wavelength lasers are generally used in human medical exams and treatments. To determine their location in the skin and in what concentration, patients are briefly exposed to the blue laser beam. An optical system creates a photograph-like 3D image through which optical changes in treated tissue can be extracted and compared to adjacent, untreated tissue using a specially-created algorithm.

"This is a significant development in dermatology and in optical engineering," says Prof. Dror Fixler, Director of the Institute of Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials at Bar-Ilan University and a member of the research team. "It could open the door to developing drugs applied through the skin alongside modern cosmetic preparations using advanced nanotechnology." Fixler's research, assisted by researcher Channa Shapira and others, demonstrates the importance of optical innovation in clinical application.

Billed to take place from 17th to 23rd October, the Paris Motor Show will take place simultaneously with another automobile exhibition, Equip Auto. BYD is no stranger to international automotive shows, as it participated in the Geneva International Auto Show in 2008.

Between January and June 2022, the Chinese automaker has moved over 640,000 new energy passenger vehicles, 165% more than the previous year. Overall, the company has a 2.1 million-strong customer base. In June alone, the automaker sold 134,036 NEVs in China, and this was the fourth month in a row where its sales had surpassed the 100,000 mark.

With this, BYD surpassed Tesla to become the biggest seller of NEVs. BYD does not only focus on building cars, as it has made breakthroughs in battery technology. Armed with 27 years of experience, the company has made innovations in technologies such as DM-i hybrid, e-platform 3.0, and blade batteries.

Additionally, the manufacturer has made in-roads into European countries for more than two decades. Currently, its pure electric buses can be found in over 20 European countries. On the other hand, the Tang EV has met rave reviews since its launch in Norway last year, selling up to 1,000 units in the country. The company has also concluded plans to enter the Netherlands and is set to enter Japan in 2023.

If you have plans for your bell peppers, you'll probably use them within a day or two. In this case, they can be kept on the counter for several days at room temperature. Store them inside the produce bag in a cool, dry kitchen area to prevent decay. Martha Stewart says that fresh, whole bell peppers will last up to five days on the counter, but they remain fresher for longer when stored in the fridge. Can't keep your peppers in the refrigerator? Maddy Rotman, head of sustainability of Imperial Foods, says, "the pantry or a cabinet shelf is the best alternative." (via Matha Stewart)

Bell peppers are crunchy, robust, colorful fruits that spice up your menu. Their unique flavor adds a distinct sweet or bitter, earthy flavor, depending on the variety. If you find yourself with an abundance of bell peppers, store them properly to ensure they retain their delicious taste and remain safe to consume.

Although 84% Of U.S. Adults Regularly Worry About Their Finances,

Fewer Than Half Have Had Money Management Education

Moomoo commissioned an April 2022 survey of more than 1,000 adults across the United States and found the majority of respondents have two things in common: they worry about their finances frequently and have never received a formal education around how to manage their money.

Findings show that 84% of U.S. adults worry about their finances on a regular basis, with nearly half (42%) "often" concerned about their money management. Yet, despite money management worries being so prevalent, roughly three out of five people surveyed (or 59%) have never received a formal education about how to manage their finances.

Of those who did have educational experience in financial topics, the majority (73%) received that instruction through a class at schoolalthough only half of that group had a class specifically dedicated to money or financial management. Some supplemented their financial education with training through their job (4.0%) or through a webinar or course provided by a company or financial institution (7.0%).

By using aggregate data gathered through this survey, moomoo was able to profile the "Average Investor" as someone who

The Grades Are In:

Financial Literacy Report Cards & Investment Quiz Results

When participants in the above survey were asked to assign a grade to their own financial expertise, most investors felt they were somewhere in the middle of the pack, with the majority (38%) giving themselves a 'C' grade. Only 10% awarded themselves an 'A' gradea group that still outweighed the mere 4% that graded themselves most harshly, with an 'F' failing grade.

Along income lines, respondents from households with an income of $250,000 or higher were more likely than other groups to give themselves an 'A' grade29% gave themselves the highest financial literacy grade, nearly triple the percentage of the average population. Additionally, only 20% of these high-earners graded their financial literacy with a 'C', showing higher-than-average confidence in their financial acumen.

Results along gender lines also showed interesting trendswith female investors awarding themselves fewer 'A's and 'B's than their male counterparts, while accounting for more of the self-assigned 'C', 'D' and 'F' grades.

Despite the average investor assigning themselves middling grades, the moomoo community proved they were willing and enthusiastic to put themselves to the test!

Moomoo designed a short, 10-question quiz designed to challenge users' knowledge of investments, stock trading and financial literacy. Those who answered all questions correctly were then entered for the chance to win a free share of APPL stock from the prize pool.

As of April 30, the last day the quiz was available, nearly 10,000 moomoo users successfully completed the quiz, with more than 13,000 users participating in some capacity. Additionally, more than 1,600 users then took the initiative to further their financial acumen by accessing moomoo's educational courses and related content pages.

Will Smith may be asked to hand back his Best Actor statuette following his live onstage assault of Chris Rock, industry insiders told The Post.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which handed out awards Sunday at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, has strict guidelines in its code of conduct.

One highly placed Hollywood source told The Post after the incident: Its basically assault. Everyone was just so shocked in the room, it was so uncomfortable.

I think Will would not want to give his Oscar back, but who knows what will happen now, the insider said.

Meanwhile, the Academy cryptically announced from its official Twitter account: The Academy does not condone violence of any form. Tonight we are delighted to celebrate our 94th Academy Awards winners, who deserve this moment of recognition from their peers and movie lovers around the world.

Smith was seen laughing and posing with photos following his win, as industry bigwigslike JuddApatow took aim.

Knocked Up director Apatow was highly critical of Smith in a now-deleted tweet: He could have killed him. Thats pure out of control rage and violence. Theyve hearda million jokes about them in the last three decades. They are not freshman in the world of Hollywood and comedy. He lost his mind.

TV comic Fortune Feimster tweeted: Someone in the audience charged the stage Friday night during my openers set and attempted to throw the speaker, started taking swings at the people trying to stop her and pushed down a security guard. Its scary times. So, no, I dont find someone getting hit on stage amusing.

The Post has reached out to the Academy for comment.

But its conduct code, released in 2017 in the wake of the sexual misconduct scandal that hit the industry, emphasizes the importance of upholding the Academys values, like inclusion, fostering supportive environments, and respect for human dignity.

At the time, AMPAS CEO Dawn Hudson wrote to members: Academy membership is a privilege offered to only a select few within the global community of filmmakers, Variety reported.

In addition to achieving excellence in the field of motion picture arts and sciences, members must also behave ethically by upholding the Academys values of respect for humandignity, inclusion, and a supportive environment that fosters creativity.

She added: There is no place in the Academy for people who abuse their status, power or influence in a manner that violates recognized standards of decency. The Academy is categorically opposed to any form of abuse, harassment or discrimination on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, disability, age, religion, or nationality. The Board of Governors believes that these standards are essential to the Academys mission and reflective of our values.

In terms of the law, Smith could be in the clear. The Los Angeles Police Department told The Post in a statement that it is aware of the incident.

LAPD investigative entities are aware of an incident between two individuals during the Academy Awards program, a rep said. The incident involved one individual slapping another. The individual involved has declined to file a police report. If the involved party desires a police report at a later date, LAPD will be available to complete an investigative report.
