David Brin on nanotechnology ethics

Over at the CRN website they have a guest post by author David Brin on nanotechnology ethics: What I find relentlessly tedious (and, alas, ubiquitous) is the tendency to assume that the objective is actually to see ahead. It is not. The objective is to do what Einstein called gedankenexperimentation: pondering the range of possibilities… Continue reading David Brin on nanotechnology ethics

Nanotechnology innovator on NPR

When we give a nanotechnology prize here at Foresight, we like to track what happens to the winner as his/her career unfolds. We’ve been doing this with Dr. Anita Goel — now President, Scientific Director and CEO of Nanobiosym Labs/ Nanobiosym Diagnostics, Inc. — who won our Distinguish Student Award back in 1999. Most recently… Continue reading Nanotechnology innovator on NPR

Genius grant goes to Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology winner

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

Nanotechnology: Enhancement goals for human body

Forbes.com did a poll to find out what human body enhancements their readers would most like. The poll seems to be gone, but nanotechnology commentator Gregor Wolbring quotes it in his own column: Smarter brain (403 votes – 29 %) Wings (230 votes – 17 %) Breathe underwater (147 votes – 11 %) Stylish, furry… Continue reading Nanotechnology: Enhancement goals for human body

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

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
