        If you appreciate the mind-boggling abilities of today’s nanoscale probes and microscopes, and/or want to move your career in the direction of nanotechnology, consider joining the Center for Probing the Nanoscale gang at Stanford’sĀ 6th Annual Nanoprobes Workshop on May 14, 2010. Ā Registration accepted until May 7. Ā Fees range from $100 for industry to free for… Continue reading State-of-the-art Nanoprobes at Stanford, May 14

        IEEE Spectrum looks at cryonics

        The March 2010 issue of IEEE Spectrum has an article on cryonics, a method of suspended animation, featuring Dr. Ralph Merkle. Ā Ralph is described as a nanotechnology expert; apparently the issue went to press just before he was also named as a co-winner of the 2010 IEEE Haming Medal. As a long-time IEEE member, I… Continue reading IEEE Spectrum looks at cryonics

        The protein engineering path to molecular manufacturing

        One way to reach molecular machine systems is to get really, really good at protein engineering. If that’s your goal, you’ll want to be in Boston on May 17-21 for PEGS 2010, “the essential protein engineering summit”. Not sure if this is your pathway? Just reading the talk titles is educational. And they have great… Continue reading The protein engineering path to molecular manufacturing

        Ave atque Vale

        In case anyone wonders where I’ve gone, I’m resigning from Foresight for medical reasons (adhesive capsulitis — long and painful course of therapy) and to concentrate my few remaining neurons on my AI research.Ā  I really wish nanomedicine had advanced further in the interim šŸ™‚

        Live webcast tomorrow March 12 on U.S. Nat'l Nanotech Initiative

        Wondering how U.S. federal nanotech tax dollars are spent? Ā Obama’s first President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) review will be webcast live tomorrow, March 12. Ā This review only occurs every two years so this is your big chance to see what the current administration thinks of the NNI. Thirty minutes are set… Continue reading Live webcast tomorrow March 12 on U.S. Nat'l Nanotech Initiative

        Off to AGI-10

        I’m on my way to AGI-10, the general AI conference, in Lugano. Ā If any readers are attending, let’s get together. Among other things, we’ll be unveiling a preliminary take on the AGI Roadmap (of which Foresight is a sponsor).

        IOP comments on Climategate

        The UK-based Institute of Physics (IOP) publishes, among other things, the journal Nanotechnology, one of the leading journals in the field, and has had special issues with papers from Foresight conferences gaoing back to the 90s. It was thus somewhat surprising, yet gratifying, to find them submitting quite a strongly-worded critique of practices in climatology… Continue reading IOP comments on Climategate

        Snow thoughts

        It’s been snowing continuously here for about 2 days.Ā  The heaviest snows I’ve experienced in my life (for any significant amount of time) were an inch an hour, but this has been half that — amounting to a foot a day. If it were to keep snowing like this for a week, it would be… Continue reading Snow thoughts
