The deadline to nominate a colleague to be considered for the prestigious Foresight Institute Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology is Wednesday, June 30, 2004. Established in honor of Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, two prizes, one for theory and one for experimental work, will be awarded. These prizes recognize researchers whose recent work have most advanced the achievement of Feynman's vision for nanotechnology: molecular manufacturing, defined as the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of molecular machine systems.

Information should be submitted by email attachment, URL, or on CD–no paper, please. Files may be sent in these formats: txt, html, doc, or pdf. Graphics may be sent in any browser-readable format.
Please put information in attachments rather than in the body of an email.
Nominations must state which Prize is being applied for (Experimental or Theory); have a summary with the nominee's address, telephone, and (if possible) fax and email address; and must include at least one (ideally, all) of the following:
- URL of bio, CV, and/or research group
- List of up to five most relevant publications
- URLs for, or electronic files of, up to five most relevant publications
- Statement of up to 400 words describing the work and its relevance to the goal of MNT, e.g., molecular manufacturing and molecular machine systems. [If the work has multiple authors, the nominee's role must be stated.]
Submissions should be emailed to [email protected], or CDs mailed to Foresight Institute to arrive by June 30, 2004. If you are sending your submission by express mail or federal express, please contact us for our street address.
Contact information should be included for nominator as well as nominee. Finalists may be contacted for additional information.
