Computational design of protein-small molecule interactions

A major advance in the computational design of proteins that bind tightly to specific small molecules will facilitate several technologies, possibly including the development of atomically precise manufacturing.

Building a hub for nanotech advancement

Nanotechnology draws from physics, chemistry, engineering, computation, etc., and this multi-disciplinary nature has served as a major speed bump in achievement of envisioned nanotech goals. There has been substantial concern that the U.S. is lagging behind other countries in nanotech R&D. Now researchers, companies, and politicians are coming together to create a much-needed physical hub… Continue reading Building a hub for nanotech advancement

Circuits of graphitic nanoribbons grown from aligned DNA templates

How complex could circuits be made using precisely positioned DNA nanostructures as templates to grow graphene nanoribbons?

Precise mechanical manipulation of individual long DNA molecules

“Molecular threading”, a nanotechnology developed by Halcyon Molecular and now owned by Aeon Biowares, enables precise placement of individual long molecules of DNA, either for sequencing or for nanofabrication of novel DNA nanostructures.

THE SINGULARITY film premiere at The Castro Theatre 09.16.13

Doug Wolens’s documentary “THE SINGULARITY: Will we survive our technology” premieres at San Francisco’s Castro Theatre September 16, 2013.

Conference video: Assembly and Manipulation of Molecules at the Atomic Scale

At the 2013 Conference the winner of the 2011 Feynman Prize for Experimental work presents STM studies showing how the manipulation of single molecules on a surface can yield insights to their mechanical, electronic, and optical properties, and be used in a controlled way to build pre-defined molecular architectures.

Next Foresight Conference on Nanotechnology in February 2014

The Conference to be held February 7-9, 2014 in Palo Alto, California will emphasize the integration of nano-engineered devices and materials into larger, more complex systems.

Warped graphene molecules offer new building blocks for nanotechnology

Graphene molecules a bit more than one nanometer across and greatly distorted from planarity have altered properties and offer novel building blocks for nanotechnology.

Illuminating Atomic Precision Conference videos

A limited set of videos from the January 2013 Foresight Conference have been made available. John Randall started the Conference presentations describing the patterned silicon Atomic Layer Epitaxy (ALE) approach to atomically precise manufacturing.

Nanocrystal-in-glass composite controlled by voltage

Covalent bonding of nanocrystals into a glass makes the glass ‘smart’ enough to transmit heat, light, both, or neither as desired.
