Open source nanotechnology CAD with distributed computing

News from Howard Lovy, now working with Nanorex: I wanted to make sure you saw this news item about molecular simulation software maker Nanorex acquiring Nano-Hive, developer of a powerful open source tool that speeds up nanoscale simulation through distributed computing. Together, Nanorex’s NanoEngineer-1 and the renamed NanoHive-1 are going to produce faster, better-quality animations.… Continue reading Open source nanotechnology CAD with distributed computing

Advice for 5-to-10 year nanotechnology investors

Phil McCallister warns over at SeekingAlpha that some investors fall for nanotech hype: owever, investors have been burned (charred to a crisp actually) by the big Nanotech hype back in January of 2004. Remember that? George W. Bush signed the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act in 2003, and continued mentioning nanotech throughout the… Continue reading Advice for 5-to-10 year nanotechnology investors

For the very latest in nanotech medical care

As we head into a holiday weekend here in the U.S., here’s a lighter item. Those wishing the very latest in nanomedical care will want to check out RYT Hospital’s Nanodocs program: RYT Hospital patients can monitor their health in real-time via nanotech robots, or NanoDocs, which live and travel within their blood and tissue.… Continue reading For the very latest in nanotech medical care

South Korea to assist North Korea on nanotechnology

From The Chosun Ilbo we learn of a new collaborative effort on nanotechnology between South Korea and…North Korea: South and North Korean scholars are holding a conference on nanotechnology in the North’s Mt. Kumgang resort. For three days from Monday, participants will exchange results of their research and discuss ways to cooperate in improving education… Continue reading South Korea to assist North Korea on nanotechnology

Nanotechnology's American Academy of Nanomedicine not just for Americans

Last time I checked, and it wasn’t long ago, I couldn’t find a website for the American Academy of Nanomedicine, but now they are up and running, and you can join. In fact, despite the premature use of the past tense on the meeting website, there’s still time to attend their Second Annual Scientific Meeting… Continue reading Nanotechnology's American Academy of Nanomedicine not just for Americans

Key to national success in nanotechnology: Integrated development

Nanostart Investments based in Germany has an interview with Eric Drexler in Issue 3 of their NanoStart! magazine (PDF). One topic addressed is how nations compare and how they can succeed as nanotech goes forward. In Q&A format, here’s an excerpt: Are there any major differences between continents and single countries with regard to progress… Continue reading Key to national success in nanotechnology: Integrated development

Nanotechnology starts to ramp up in Africa

John Etkind at allAfrica.com writes about the Continent’s Nano Revolution. Excerpts: According to Bethual Sehlapelo, deputy director-general of the South African department of science and technology’s Frontier Science Programme, “Nano is going to be the next technological revolution”… Although sub-Saharan Africa is a late entrant in this new technological race, an African materials forum held… Continue reading Nanotechnology starts to ramp up in Africa

Nanotechnology: Get an analyst job in San Francisco, Boston, NYC

Many Foresight members join partly in order to make a move toward a nanotech career. It’s not always an easy transition to make. But I just got an email from Lux Research — which bills itself as “the world’s leading nanotechnology research and advisory firm” — looking for Senior Analysts, about which they state: The… Continue reading Nanotechnology: Get an analyst job in San Francisco, Boston, NYC

A better nanotechnology definition: U.S. NNI gives up

Although the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative’s previous definition of nanotechnology was confusing, at least they were trying to make it more relevant than the usual “anything 1-100 nm” nanotech definition used by so many. Sadly, they’ve given up and are now using this: “Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of roughly… Continue reading A better nanotechnology definition: U.S. NNI gives up

Bottom-up nanotechnology to be speeded by nanoliter-on-a-chip reactors

Great news in the August 2006 issue of Nano Today in an opinion piece by two UCLA researchers, Guodong Sui and Hsian-Rong Tseng, titled “Reactions in hand: Digitally controlled microreactors are providing chemists with a new playground for discovery.” First, some background. As an MIT undergrad in chemistry, I tried to make reactions work in… Continue reading Bottom-up nanotechnology to be speeded by nanoliter-on-a-chip reactors
