NanoWiki

Víctor Puntes is the founder and director of NanoWiki [http://www.NanoWiki.info], a digital online platform created in 2008 whose aim is to track the evolution of paradigms and discoveries in nanoscience and nanotechnology, disseminate them giving a context overview, and feed the essential public debate on nanotechnology and its practical applications. The operating manual is a guide through NanoWiki. Josep Saldaña, Joan Escofet and Eudald Casals complete the NanoWiki team, however they often collaborate with other scientists, artists and communicators which actively contribute to the project.

NanoWiki has received the support of the Catalan Institute of Technology (ICN), the NanoAracat project, and the Center for NanoBioSafety and Sustaniability (CNBSS).

NanoWiki also develops an important editorial activity in Nanotechnology dissemination, and has published three books (which are available on-line for free):

• J. Saldaña Cavallé and V. Puntes, “Nanoparticles Before Nanotechnology”. ISBN 978-84-695-6677-0.
