Deadline Monday: Atomically-precise nanotechnology

In case you are not on Foresight’s nanotechnology email list, be aware that Monday is the last day to save a great deal of money — $300 — on the 14th Foresight Conference on advanced nanotech: the Productive Nanosystems Conference, held jointly with SME this year. By registering on or before this Monday, Sept. 17,… Continue reading Deadline Monday: Atomically-precise nanotechnology

Caltech makes new molecular motor for nanotechnology

Caltech nanotechnology researchers have come up with a new way to fuel synthetic molecular motors for nanotech, as described by Physorg.com: “This study provides a proof of principle that DNA hybridization can be used to power autonomous molecular locomotion,” said Pierce. “Researchers at the NSF Center for Molecular Cybernetics, of which our team is a… Continue reading Caltech makes new molecular motor for nanotechnology

Visionary nanotechnology medical video now posted

For those of you with an interest in the longer-term, more visionary projections for nanotech and the human body, Gina Miller brings to our attention a new collaboration between herself and Robert Freitas, a 2007 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology finalist. From Gina, Foresight Senior Associate (you can be one too): Some of you may recall… Continue reading Visionary nanotechnology medical video now posted

Nanotechnology for personalized happiness measurement

Nanowerk brings us an interview from Chemical Biology about the use of nanotechnology for the measurement of happiness. Yoshinobu Baba, a professor of chemistry at Nagoya University and a director for nanobiotechnology research at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology in Japan, explains: Nanobiotechnology could be used as a measure of happiness,… Continue reading Nanotechnology for personalized happiness measurement

Free webinar on Nanotechnology & upgrading the human body

We at Foresight like to speculate on the future of nanotechnology and the human body, so if you do as well, you’ll want to join the webinar this Friday, July 20 at 9 AM to 1 PM eastern time (US) called the 3rd Annual Workshop on Geoethical Nanotechnology. The live presentations, including audio, video, and… Continue reading Free webinar on Nanotechnology & upgrading the human body

Nature's nanotechnology: Must-see molecular machine video

It will be a while before nanotechnology can make artificial molecular machine systems as amazing as nature’s, but we can be inspired and get great ideas from what biological nanotech already does. On the Strangepaths.com blog we can see a very cool video animation of DNA replication, complete with sound effects (not realistic sounds of… Continue reading Nature's nanotechnology: Must-see molecular machine video

Nanotechnology moves toward nanomachines and nanorobotics

Jim Lewis’s Weekly News Digest (see Join Email List at upper right) brings to our attention a New Scientist piece on work by Mihri Ozkan of UC Riverside and colleagues in the US and Italy combining quantum dots and viruses to make nanoscale memory devices: The researchers have successfully performed a number of read-write-erase cycles… Continue reading Nanotechnology moves toward nanomachines and nanorobotics

Nanotechnology injects into living human cell

Foresight advisor John Gilmore brings our attention to the use of nanotechnology to inject a nanoscale cargo directly into a human cell. Lynn Harris writes in Science@Berkeley about work by Alex Zettl and team: The prick of a flu shot may momentarily sting, but the penetration of the needle does no lasting harm to the… Continue reading Nanotechnology injects into living human cell

Medical nanobots: Nanotechnology desired but not here yet

Marvin Hofberg of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine sends info on nanotechnology for medicine and longevity: Among the scientific and medical phenomena unveiled at the Eighth Congress that are projected to revolutionize the delivery of healthcare and, as a result, improve the quality and extend the quantity of the human lifespan: • Nanobots, fleets… Continue reading Medical nanobots: Nanotechnology desired but not here yet

Nanotechnology: Enough with the wet/dry debate already

Nanowerk brings to our attention some confusion on an IEEE blog: Somewhere along the line, the advocates for molecular nanotechnology (MNT) seem to have lost interest in actually seeing molecular manufacturing come to pass if it meant that the concepts of the mechanically engineered approach (Dry) are abandoned in favor of a biologically engineered method… Continue reading Nanotechnology: Enough with the wet/dry debate already
