General |
The 10th Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology will be held at the Hyatt Hotel, One Bethesda Metro, Bethesda, Maryland 20814. The Conference will begin with a reception the evening of Thursday, October 10, and end Sunday, October 13, 2002. An intensive Tutorial on Foundations of Nanotechnology will be held on October 10. This 2002 Conference home page will provide the information you will need about the conference and to register for the conference. After the conference is over, this page will provide the permanent archive for the conference. Rapid advances in our ability to image, manipulate, and probe the properties of matter at the atomic scaletogether with emerging insights into structure, function and self-assembly in biological systemsis bringing to fruition the tremendous promise of nanotechnology first recognized by Richard Feynman over 40 years ago. In the next decade, current research into the science and technology of nanostructures is expected to have a major impact on fields ranging from consumer electronics to space exploration and medicine. The Foresight Institute's first Conference on Nanotechnology, which pre-dated the National Nanotechnology Initiative by a decade, was the first comprehensive conference on the topic of nanotechology. Foresight sponsored events continue to be the premiere venue for discussing new and innovative multidisciplinary research in nanotechnology. Last year's conference, the 9th in the series, attracted over 500 researchers from academic, government and industrial laboratories world-wide, and included papers from the electronics, medical, computing, and biological communities. Foresight's 10th Conference will continue this level of excellence by providing a forum in which leaders from all disciplines delving into science and technology at the nanoscale can present and discuss their most recent results and ideas.

Proceedings - JNN Special Issue |
PROCEEDINGS: The original papers from 10th Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology will be published in a special issue of the Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and will be available to conference attendees as an option for $35. Submission of Accepted Papers & Posters: Authors of accepted abstracts must submit their manuscripts electronically as a PDF or MS Word file on or before October 10th 2002 to guest editors Susan Sinnott (sinnott@mse.ufl.edu) or James Spencer (jtspence@syr.edu) for review. Manuscripts will NOT be accepted after the deadline. The manuscript preparation guidelines are posted on the JNN website at: http://www.aspbs.com/jnn. JNN will be responsible for all manuscript tracking, handling, and review processing. The submitted manuscripts will be the responsibility of JNN GUEST EDITORS and AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC PUBLISHERS. As of January, 2003, the papers for the proceedings are still in review. The special issue of JNN will most likely appear about April, 2003.
