Nanotechnology "Unconference" now open to general public

Registration for Foresight’s Nov. 3-4 Vision Weekend focused on nanotechnology and other advanced technologies — traditionally restricted to Foresight Senior Associates — is being opened to the general public this year as an experiment. Space is limited and participants are advised to register very soon. To warm up for our Sat/Sun afternoon unconference, in the… Continue reading Nanotechnology "Unconference" now open to general public

Patent office arms race will hurt nanotechnology

There’s an arms race between government patent offices and patent filers assisted by private law firms. The folks who work for the former get paid a lot less than the those who work for the latter. This leads to a continual drain away from government review of patent applications toward private generation of patent applications.… Continue reading Patent office arms race will hurt nanotechnology

Nanotechnology plastic as strong as steel

MSNBC brings news of a new nanotechnology achievement at University of Michigan: Nanotech produces plastic as strong as steel Researchers mimic structures found in seashells, using clay and glue By mimicking structures found in seashells, scientists have created a transparent plastic that is as strong as steel… Kotov and his colleagues have devised a process… Continue reading Nanotechnology plastic as strong as steel

What to do if you didn't win Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology

We at Foresight are just returned from this week’s Productive Nanosystems Conference where the Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology were awarded. Didn’t win this year? First, remember to re-apply next year. But you can also go after another nanotech prize: The International Society for Nanoscale Science, Computation, and Engineering (ISNSCE) is soliciting nominations for… Continue reading What to do if you didn't win Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology

Liveblogging the Productive Nanosystems conference on nanotechnology

Mike Treder brings this to our attention: Today and tomorrow, CRN is reporting on presentations at an important conference on Productive Nanosystems: Launching the Technology Roadmap. Chris Phoenix is providing live blog coverage for us… I checked this out and Chris is indeed blogging the conference heavily. If you can’t be here with us, reading… Continue reading Liveblogging the Productive Nanosystems conference on nanotechnology

Nanotechnology insulation to generate electricity

[UPDATE: see the comments for some skepticism about this product.] Normally we only expect insulation to save energy, not generate it. Now a nanotechnology-based coating will move the state-of-the-art to the second category, as brought to our attention by Meridian: U.S. company Industrial Nanotech, Inc. is developing a thermal insulation material that can use the… Continue reading Nanotechnology insulation to generate electricity
