Demo of the Virtual Mechanosynthesis System (pre-registration required)
A special field trip to NASA Ames for a demo of the Virtual Mechanosynthesis system has been arranged for the first 40 Foresight conference attendees to sign up by Thursday, October 7. The Virtual Mechanosynthesis (VMS) utility allows users to see, move, and even "feel" simulated molecular structures in three dimensions. By allowing researchers to explore, rehearse, and debug complex assembly sequences, the VMS will help in the creation of plausible atomic designs.
We apologize that, due to the last-minute approval of the trip, only US citizens are able to attend; facility access to NASA Ames by non-US citizens requires a longer approval time than remains before the conference.
To sign up, please send email to [email protected] stating that you would like to attend the NASA field trip, and include the following information: first and last names, affiliation, and a sentence stating that you are a US citizen.
There is no additional fee for the field trip. Special thanks go to Chris Henze, Creon Levit, and Deepak Srivastava for arranging the demo. |
