Russia's nanotechnology "Manhattan Project" gets slow start

From The Economist, a look at Russia’s technology, including nanotech: After years of high oil prices, money is again no object: in 2007 Russia put 130 billion roubles ($5.5 billion) into a state corporation for nanotechnologies that is being likened to the Manhattan Project… But the big problem for high technology in Russia is neither… Continue reading Russia's nanotechnology "Manhattan Project" gets slow start

UV laser may enable nanotechnology to build atom-by-atom

Nanotech researchers have constructed a UV laser that they expect will eventually be able to manipulate and precisely deposit Group III and Group V atoms to construct composite materials atom-by-atom.

Nanoscale self-assembled surfaces robust enough for nanotechnology applications

Sturdy structures ordered with nanometer precision have now been formed by combining supramolecular assembly of ordered networks with self-assembled monolayers.

Potential of nanotechnology for clean energy draws attention of US presidential candidates

A role for nanotech applications can be seen in the responses to the US energy crisis made by both candidates for the US Presidency.

Scientists draw lessons for nanotechnology from wide range of biological machinery

A recent review article delineates engineering principles that may prove valuable for engineering complex nanosystems that can be discerned from the molecular mechanisms by which such biological molecular motors operate and are controlled.
