Foresight’s recent past president J. Storrs “Josh” Hall was awarded the 2011 Achievement Award in the Sciences from his undergraduate alma mater Drew University: … During his subsequent graduate studies at Rutgers University, Hall found the field of nanotechnology. His first book, Nanofuture: What’s Next for Nanotechnology (Prometheus 2005), won the Foresight Institute’s Communications Prize… Continue reading Foresight's recent past president honored by his undergraduate university
A nanotechnology therapy using targeted dendrimers shows promise against head and neck cancer in experiments in which human tumors are implanted into immunocompromised mice.
The American Chemical Society Petroleum Research Fund has awarded a grant to study the development of molecular gears for use in future molecular machines. From an Austin College news release “Chemist awarded $50,000 grant“ Dr. Stephanie Gould, assistant professor of chemistry at Austin College, has been awarded a $50,000 grant from the American Chemical Society… Continue reading American Chemical Society grant to study molecular gears

The world’s first synthetic organ transplant was a replica windpipe made from a nanocomposite scaffold seeded with the patient’s own adult stem cells.
Will an inexpensive automated evolution machine accelerate the development of molecular machine systems by simultaneously evolving multiple parts to improve function?
New computational method screens for small molecules that bind to RNA molecules that move through a variety of conformations.
Progress in computational modeling of protein structures and in designing protein interfaces that bind in a desired geometrical orientation prepare the way for designing protein components of molecular machine systems.
We’re going to take a shot at doing a live webcast of Foresight@Google: 25th Anniversary Conference and Celebration. See this page for schedule and link: https://foresight.org/reunion/schedule.html It’s free so please have patience if we run into any technical difficulties. You can try sending questions to speakers by using this Twitter tag (though in-person participants get first… Continue reading Free webcast this weekend of Foresight Conference at Google
