Nanotechnology harnesses light for nanomechanical devices in integrated photonic circuits

New nanotech applications may be made possible by the demonstration of a force generated from light that does not require a reflective surface.

Nanotechnology researcher to receive Sackler Prize in Biophysics

Dr. David Baker, who with Dr. Brian Kuhlman was awarded the 2004 Foresight Nanotech Institute Feynman Prize for Theory, will be one of three winners of the 2008 Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in Biophysics. Dr. Baker has been featured on Nanodot posts this year for inviting online gamers to aid in protein design… Continue reading Nanotechnology researcher to receive Sackler Prize in Biophysics

DARPA to fund development of 'brain-like' computers

A new multi-disciplinary collaboration will focus on developing computing technology that mimics the human brain in being able to solve a wide variety of problems.

New 4D microscope a revolutionary tool for nanotechnology

A new microscope may facilitate nanotech developments by combining nanometer scale spatial resolution with temporal resolution in the millisecond to femtosecond range.

Prediction Markets Summit for 2009 announced

A “Call for Participation” for the first post-US election Prediction Markets Summit and Collective Intelligence Conference of 2009 has been announced.

Texas invests in nanotechnology for delivery of anti-cancer drug

A startup company has now received a $3.5 million grant from the state of Texas to commercialize the nanotech delivery of a drug for cancer treatment.

Fast and precise control of AFM tips may enable nanotechnology memory devices

Arrays of atomic force probe tips are promising nanotech approaches to denser, faster, cheaper memories.

Can nanotechnology sequence DNA by pulling single molecules through a slit in graphene?

It has not been tested experimentally yet, but if a proposal to use graphene as a nanotech method to sequence DNA very rapidly and inexpensively pans out, the “wonder material” of nanotechnology could find yet another use.

Toward molecular level data storage with nanotechnology

British scientists are investigating telescoping carbon nanotubes as a nanotech replacement for current computer memory technologies.

Public approval for using nanotechnology for human enhancement limited to improving health

Recently announced results of a US national survey on nanotech applications for “human enhancement” show widespread public support for enhancements seen as promising an improvement in human health, but little support for other uses.
