The Meridian Institute publishes daily summaries of news stories on nanotechnology for development, reporting on key innovations and technological applications, policy issues, risk-related information and technology transfer. While these stories cover a wide spectrum of disciplines — from health to materials to environment to agriculture — the institute also offers a compilation of water-related nanotech news summaries for those interested in the applications and implications of using nanotechnology for clean water.

The institute also runs projects and holds workshops on key issues — including the use of nanotechnology in water treatment — and publishes relevant background papers, presentations and case studies.

This online magazine publishes news and commentary on a range of nanotech applications from nanomedicine to nanotech for clean water. It also advertises jobs, book releases, events and links to nano art. In addition, Nano hosts an archive of country profiles outlining the state of nanotechnology including laws, advances and relevant companies.

Nanowerk is a clearing house for information about nanotechnology and nanoscience. It publishes regular news on key developments and a daily feature article — written in cooperation with scientists — looking at new findings, reviewing current research or exploring interesting applications such as water treatment.

Nanowerk also hosts a database of more than 1,900 nanomaterials and links to key events, reports, documents, magazines, organisations and blogs relevant to nanotechnology. Its video library links to dozens of animations and videos about nanotech research, speeches and lectures.

SAFENANO publishes information on the health and environmental risks of nanoparticles, including the risks of waterborne nanoparticles. Its website provides daily news updates and feature articles as well as discussion boards and blogs for users to join in the debate. Background papers and guidelines are also available on key issues including risk management approaches.
