Nanomedical conference to feature advanced nanotechnology

There’s still time — barely — to plan to attend next week’s 1st Annual Unither Nanomedical & Telemedical Technology Conference in Quebec. Co-chair is Martine Rothblatt, PhD, of Unither Biotech. Speakers include these names familar to Foresight members, as well as many nearer-term topics: Tad Hogg, PhD — Member of the Research Staff: Hewlett-Packard Laboratories,… Continue reading Nanomedical conference to feature advanced nanotechnology

Japan takes lead in medical nanorobots

It’s very early days as yet, but Japan is moving forward toward the goal of molecular-level machinery to control nanotechnology-based robotic devices for medicine. In the U.S. and Europe, the poorly-informed sometimes ridicule the prospect of such nanotech robots, but visionary goals are apparently okay in Japan. See the report and video at MSNBC from… Continue reading Japan takes lead in medical nanorobots

Nanotechnology provides switchable nanovalve for potential use in drug delivery

Bistable rotaxanes might be pressed into service as valves so that nanoparticles only release drugs in desired target areas.

Nanomanufacturing conference: get your Foresight discount

SME has let us know that Foresight members get a discount to their upcoming Nanomanufacturing conference in the Boston area on April 22-23, which features three sessions of special interest: Understanding Nanotechnology, workshop led by Tihamer Toth-Fejel of General Dynamics, to cover topics including: brief history of nanotechnology, taxonomies and roadmaps, near-term passive structures, medium-term… Continue reading Nanomanufacturing conference: get your Foresight discount

Precisely controlled electron beam provides top-down approach to molecular nanotechnology

French nanotech researchers have used theory to increase the precision of carving with electron beams enough to remove individual atoms from single walled carbon and boron nitride nanotubes.

DNA building blocks that change shape provide new tool for nanotechnology

Tetrahedrons made from DNA that extend and shorten in response to added short strands of DNA may provide new nanotech methods of drug delivery, but may present even more exciting possibilities for atomically precise functional nanosystems.

A new base pair for DNA nanotechnology

A new DNA base pair that works with at least one enzyme that replicates DNA opens up new possibilities for nanotech.

Nanotechnology: Early work on nanomotors

The Royal Society of Chemistry brings news of early work leading toward designed engines for nanomachines: Dutch scientists have made nanotubes move using enzyme-powered motors. Ben Feringa and co-workers from the University of Groningen, The Netherlands, have designed engines for nanomachines that could potentially be used in the body. Hydrogen peroxide has proven useful as… Continue reading Nanotechnology: Early work on nanomotors

Nanotechnology experts comment on Roadmap for atomically precise manufacturing

Below are comments from nanotechnology experts on yesterday’s release of the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems, a new roadmap for development of atomically precise manufacturing from Battelle and Foresight: Jim Von Ehr, CEO, Zyvex Labs “For the first time, progress across all key nanoscale disciplines has been brought together into R&D pathways leading to atomically-precise… Continue reading Nanotechnology experts comment on Roadmap for atomically precise manufacturing
