Arthur Kantrowitz, 1913-2008, Foresight Advisor

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Prof. Arthur Kantrowitz, a founding Advisor of Foresight Institute and an early supporter of molecular nanotechnology concepts when they were first developed at MIT in the late 1970s by then-student K. Eric Drexler. Arthur was an amazingly innovative scientist and technologist, as described in… Continue reading Arthur Kantrowitz, 1913-2008, Foresight Advisor

Using nanotechnology to separate electrons and holes in thin-film solar cells

A nanostructure called a “gyroid” provides the basis for a more efficient, inexpensive nanotech solar cell.

Flexible loudspeakers through nanotechnology

Carbon nanotubes make nanotech loudspeakers that produce sound without mechanical movement.

Nanotechnology-based assay for cancer proteins increases sensitivity a thousand fold

A nanotech assay for trace levels of proteins associated with cancer is a thousand fold more sensitive than are current assays.

Nanotechnology harnesses light for nanomechanical devices in integrated photonic circuits

New nanotech applications may be made possible by the demonstration of a force generated from light that does not require a reflective surface.

Nanotechnology researcher to receive Sackler Prize in Biophysics

Dr. David Baker, who with Dr. Brian Kuhlman was awarded the 2004 Foresight Nanotech Institute Feynman Prize for Theory, will be one of three winners of the 2008 Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in Biophysics. Dr. Baker has been featured on Nanodot posts this year for inviting online gamers to aid in protein design… Continue reading Nanotechnology researcher to receive Sackler Prize in Biophysics

DARPA to fund development of 'brain-like' computers

A new multi-disciplinary collaboration will focus on developing computing technology that mimics the human brain in being able to solve a wide variety of problems.

New 4D microscope a revolutionary tool for nanotechnology

A new microscope may facilitate nanotech developments by combining nanometer scale spatial resolution with temporal resolution in the millisecond to femtosecond range.
