Fuel From the Sun: NanoChannel Materials Views
Imagine life in a “clean house gas” rather than a “green house gas” world; this will require a change of human behavior from that practiced in the Anthropocene era where the Earth’s ecosystems have been negatively impacted by humans to the “Sustanocene” age where humans strive to heal the Earth through renewable technologies to make things better.

Spin of a Nanotech Spin-Off Essay
Geoff’s essay on the current state of entrepreneurship in nanotechnology has been published as the front cover of a recent issue of Advanced Engineering Materials.
The full essay is also available for download through the journal. Innovation in nanotechnology often springs from ideas birthed in universities yet the attitudes of stakeholders towards entrepreneurship in our seats of knowledge is underappreciated. In this article I explore the challenges faced by academics and students when confronted with the collision between fundamental research in the pursuit of knowledge and applied research directed at the creation of products, jobs, and wealth.
