"NANOTECH: Nanoscience makes this chemist see green"

A pioneer in green nanotechnology, University of Oregon professor James Hutchison proposes creating safety-approved nanoscale building blocks � nanoparticle lines and arrays � that would integrate smoothly with existing silicon chip-processing steps. Hutchison is the director of the Materials Science Institute on the university's Eugene campus. Brooks-Cole last year published his book Green Organic Chemistry: Strategies, Tools and Laboratory Experiments. The director of the Green Chemistry Institute, Paul Anastas, has singled out Hutchison's work on what Anastas calls a "conceptual template for designing nanomaterials using green chemistry."
