Can we pick ’em or what? All of us at Foresight Nanotech are pleased as punch to see that the co-winner of *both* 2006 Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology (Theory and Experiment) has just won a 2007 MacArthur Fellowship, popularly known as a genius grant. From the MacArthur website: Paul Rothemund California Institute of Technology Pasadena,… Continue reading Genius grant goes to Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology winner
For your nanotech weekend viewing enjoyment, we bring to your attention a free webcast posted by Institute of Nanotechnology (UK) of a lecture by Sir Fraser Stoddart entitled Chemistry and Molecular Nanotechnology for Tomorrow’s World. The IoN webcast system gives you video, audio, and his slides all together at one time. It worked pretty well… Continue reading Feynman prize finalist Fraser Stoddart in nanotechnology webcast
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 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
Babak Parviz of University of Washington, named by Technology Review as one of this year’s outstanding innovators under the age of 35, writes in the Sept/Oct issue (free reg req’d) about self-assembly: In nature, components “self-assemble” to yield complex functional systems. Inspired in part by this observation, a number of research groups are working to… Continue reading The future of manufacturing: Nanotechnology
