Sunday, May 18th at 7:00 PM Pacific / 10:00 PM Eastern, FastForward Radio will feature a distinguished panel discussing the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems. The panel will discuss the background and history of the roadmap, and explore how it will serve to help realize these horizons. The panelists are: Christine Peterson, Acting President of… Continue reading Panel to discuss productive nanosystems Sunday night
Mike Treder brings this to our attention: Today and tomorrow, CRN is reporting on presentations at an important conference on Productive Nanosystems: Launching the Technology Roadmap. Chris Phoenix is providing live blog coverage for us… I checked this out and Chris is indeed blogging the conference heavily. If you can’t be here with us, reading… Continue reading Liveblogging the Productive Nanosystems conference on nanotechnology
The full conference program and brochure are now available for the upcoming Productive Nanosystems Roadmap conference on Oct. 9-10 in the DC area, sponsored by Foresight and SME with support from Battelle. Productive nanosystems are molecular-scale systems that make other useful materials and devices that are nanostructured. The Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems has examined… Continue reading Productive Nanosystems: Full program for nanotechnology conference & save $200
The U.S. National Academy of Engineering wants input on what should be the Grand Challenges in engineering over the next century. Let’s let them know: nanotechnology! Specifically, nanotech leading toward, and achieving, productive nanosystems. Heck, they can just follow the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems. The IEEE has a summary. You have until August 17,… Continue reading Nanotechnology: Productive Nanosystems as a Grand Challenge?
Foresight, Battelle, and Working Group members have been working away on our Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems since late 2005. Now the Society of Manufacturing Engineers is pitching in on co-sponsoring the launch conference. Below is the press release; we hope to see you at the conference! —Christine Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems to be… Continue reading Nanotechnology Roadmap launch: Productive Nanosystems Conference, Oct 9-10
We’ll end the week on an upbeat note: It’s good to see the American Associate for the Advancement of Science — AAAS, publisher of the journal Science — covering long-term nanotechnology prospects on their EurekAlert website. An updated essay by Eric Drexler looks at “Revolutionizing the Future of Technology“. Excerpts: Why focus on productive nanosystems… Continue reading Productive nanosystems on AAAS nanotechnology site
The Foresight/Battelle-sponsored International Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems working group will be meeting next week at Brookhaven National Lab in the U.S. The team is having good success so far, and new corporate or governmental sponsors can still join and participate. A conference is being planned for Spring 2007 to present the Executive Summary and… Continue reading Productive Nanosystems Roadmap meeting at Brookhaven Nat'l Lab
Foresight Participating Member Mark Sims of Nanorex brings to our attention a new version of the five-minute film Productive Nanosystems: from Molecules to Superproducts posted at Google video. The description: “Visualizing productive nanosystems and molecular manufacturing is a major challenge in communicating the power of this technology. To help address this problem, Nanorex (http://www.nanorex.com )… Continue reading New version of Productive Nanosystems film released
As we enter 2006 our thoughts turn to the future: what can we expect from nanotechnology as it reaches its full potential? For a quick introduction, check out Productive nanosystems: the physics of molecular fabrication (pdf, 0.6 MB) by K. Eric Drexler, published in Physics Education. It gets quite technical, but even the less technical… Continue reading Intro to productive nanosystems
Kathy White of ExtremeNano covers the Roadmap presentation last Thursday at the Foresight Conference, quoting Alex Kawczak of Battelle: ” ‘Our roadmap is going to encourage collaboration across many, many industries,’ Kawczak said. ‘We are shaping the future by providing the framework for collaboration that has the great potential to impact all industries in the… Continue reading Productive Nanosystems Roadmap: more info
