Professor Terri Camesano is the editor of a new book, sponsored by the North American Treaty Organization (NATO), it is a collection of work by the world’s top nanotechnology experts and stems from a conference Camesano convened through NATO’s Science for Peace and Security Programme, which seeks to use scientific research, innovation, and the exchange of knowledge to enhance cooperation and dialog among NATO members.
The book, Nanotechnology to Aid Chemical and Biological Defense, focuses on two main areas: the ability to control matter on an atomic and/or molecular scale; and new sensing techniques to exploit the unique properties of matter at the nano-scale. In addition to editing the book, Camesano provided an overview of her own research into the behavior of gold nanoparticles in the natural environment.
