Lecture by Eric Drexler at Oxford on physical law and the future of nanotechnology (video)

In a lecture at Oxford Eric Drexler argued that atomically precise manufacturing will be the next great revolution in the material basis of civilization, and discussed how we can establish reliable knowledge about key aspects of such technologies.

A modular molecular composite nanosystem for solar power

A bacterial virus called M13 was genetically engineered to control the arrangement of carbon nanotubes, improving solar-cell efficiency by nearly one-third.

Nanotechnology makes possible boat 40% stronger and 75% lighter than metal boats

Zyvex Technologies announced that its 54-foot boat named Piranha completed a rough-weather sea test near Puget Sound in the Pacific Ocean, demonstrating record fuel efficiency.

Is policy uncertainty the cause of anemic growth in nanotechnology innovation?

Will proposals to establish criteria for green nanotechnology foster growth of nanotechnology innovation?

Positional control of chemical reaction a step toward advanced nanotechnology

A step toward advanced nanotechnology has been achieved by using attachment to a surface and confinement by surrounding molecules to make two molecules react to form a product that would not form if they were free to react in solution.

Improved fuel cell catalyst combines graphene and nanoparticles

Combining nanoparticles and graphene with platinum produces more efficient and durable catalyst for fuel cells.

New laser invention to spur nanotechnology applications

A new laser for nanotechnology could lead to more powerful microscopes, faster computers, and more efficient solar energy collectors.

Graphene supercapacitor sets energy storage record

Graphene supercapacitor stores as much energy per unit mass as nickel metal hydride batteries but charges in minutes.

Congressman Commends Focus on Job Creation in National Nanotechnology Initiative Draft Strategic Plan

Research and Science Education Subcommittee Chairman Dan Lipinski (IL-03) expressed his strong support for the National Nanotechnology Initiative’s draft Strategic Plan, in particular its focus on ensuring that America’s substantial investment in nanotech research and development is turned into new companies, products, and jobs.
