General |
The 11th Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology will be held at the San Francisco Airport Marriott, 1800 Old Bayshore Highway, Burlingame, CA 94010. The Conference will begin with a reception the evening of Thursday, October 9, and end Sunday, October 12, 2003. An intensive Tutorial on Foundations of Nanotechnology will be held on October 9. This 2003 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 systemsare 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 10th in the series, attracted researchers from academic, government and industrial laboratories world-wide, and included papers from the electronics, medical, computing, and biological communities. Foresight's 11th 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.

Silver Level SponsorsIntel believes in innovation. We're driven by it. We live by it. And it's this principle that led us to create the world's first microprocessor back in 1971. Today, Intel is behind everything from the fastest processor in the world to the cables that power high-speed Internet. We keep innovating because it's in our blood. Because it's part of our heritage. And because the technology we invent today will shape the world's future.
