(This version of our conference desciption emphasizes the Research days. –CP) Researchers doing groundbreaking work in nanotechnology, or who have innovative scientific results relevant to emerging nanotech, are encouraged to submit abstracts by July 31, 2005, for presentation at the 13th Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology. Unlike special-topic meetings, the Foresight Conference series covers the… Continue reading Nanotech abstracts and Feynman Prize nominations due July 31
The first annual Nano 50 Awards for the top nanotech technologies, products, and innovators have been announced by NASA’s Nanotech Briefs publication. Note the inclusion of Harvard’s Charles Lieber, co-chair of this fall’s Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology, for which the abstract submission deadline is July 31. Starting in August, the Nanotech Briefs publication will… Continue reading Nano 50 Awards announced
There’s still time to nominate your favorite potential Prize candidates — even yourself — for the nanotechnology prizes to be given out at this fall’s Feynman Prize Banquet at the 13th Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology: 2005 Foresight Institute Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Theory) 2005 Foresight Institute Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology (Experiment) New: 2005 Foresight… Continue reading Nominations for nanotech prizes, including Feynman Prize, due this Friday, July 15
We’re adding more speakers continually, but a preliminary list is now posted for the 13th Foresight Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology this Oct. 22-27 in San Francisco. Choose your area(s) of focus: the first two days give the big picture (Vision), the next two are on Applications & Policy, and the last two are on Research.… Continue reading Speaker list now up for Foresight Conference
1st CONFERENCE ON ADVANCED NANOTECHNOLOGY: RESEARCH, APPLICATIONS, AND POLICY, October 22-24, 2004, Crystal City Marriott Hotel Washington, DC area. Join us as we examine nanotechnology from three different perspectives. Choose your areas of focus: FRIDAY — Research SATURDAY — Applications SUNDAY — Policy and Funding. While Friday is designed for researchers and technologists, Saturday and Sunday will make this revolution accessible to public interest representatives, investors, general public, and those aiming at a career in the field. https://foresight.org/conference/AdvNano2004/index.html
Foresight Institute, a nanotechnology education and public policy think tank, is sponsoring the 1st Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology: Research, Applications, and Policy, October 22-24, 2004 at the Crystal City Marriott Hotel, Washington DC area. "This is the first conference to focus on molecular machine systems and advanced nanotechnology," said Christine Peterson, president and founder of Foresight Institute. "The Conference targets the bottom-up goal of molecular machine systems and what this Next Industrial Revolution will mean for the environment, medicine, national competitiveness, and defense."
1st Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology: Research, Applications, and Policy, October 21-24, 2004, Crystal City Marriott Hotel, Washington, DC area. Includes, as Day One: 1st Symposium on Molecular Machine Systems
BioNEMS Symposium, May 22, 2004, Davidson Conference Center, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA USA. "A one-day symposium on the biomedical applications of nanoelectromechanical systems (bioNEMS), sponsored by the Center for Interdisciplinary Research of the University of Southern California (USC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). …The emphasis throughout the day will be on nano (not micro) systems, and in vivo (not in vitro) applications. A full-fledged nanosystem (e.g., a nanorobot) is expected to have overall dimensions on the order of a micrometer but will be made from nanoscale components with sizes ~ 1-100 nm."
David Lackner writes with news of the project launch meeting for the NIH nanomedicine roadmap initiative: "The goals of the NIH Nanomedicine Roadmap Initiative are to 1) obtain a comprehensive set of measurements on molecules and assemblies of molecules, and use those measurements to understand molecular pathways and networks, and 2) use that knowledge to drive the design and development of new nanomachines and technologies to improve human health."
The Foresight Vision Weekend is only a month away. This is the place to speak openly and brainstorm with others who envision a revolutionary nanotechnology future. What aspect of our nanotech future most excites you — repairing the human body, ending chemical pollution, creating economic abundance, developing space resources, delivering basic necessities — like clean water — to the developing world…or how about a personal role in making all this happen?
