J. Bonasia of Investor’s Business Daily gives a variety of nanotech perspectives from the Foresight Conference: “For now, green advocates appear to be cautiously optimistic about the technology. Many see it as a way to cut pollution and relieve human suffering. But they want to carefully assess nanotechnology as it evolves. ‘Nanotech is not understood… Continue reading Investor's Business Daily quotes from Foresight Conference
The Institute of Nanotechnology is sponsoring a nanotech debate at the Surface Science Summer School in the UK. Organized by Philip Moriarty of Univ. of Nottingham, topics to be debated include: Are nanofactories capable of manufacturing virtually anything with little or no environmental impact really just a few decades away, as some groups are claiming?… Continue reading Nanofactories, molecular nanotechnology to be debated in UK
(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

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
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."
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?
