TEDx talk: &#34Transforming the Material Basis of Civilization&#34

Eric Drexler’s TEDx talk entitled “A Future of Radical Abundance: Transforming the Material Basis of Civilization” is available for viewing on Youtube as well as on Drexler’s blog site. As described by the Oxford Martin School, where Drexler is a scholar with the Programme on the Impacts of Future Technology: Dr. Eric Drexler’s talk from… Continue reading TEDx talk: &#34Transforming the Material Basis of Civilization&#34

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.

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.

Molecular sponges give atomic structures of trace substances

A porous metal-organic framework ‘host’ soaks up molecular ‘guests’ to form a crystalline complex, the structure of which can be determined by X-ray crystallography, providing atomic-resolution structures of minute amounts of guest molecules, and perhaps eventually other nanostructures.

DNA nanotechnology positions components to optimize single-molecule fluorescence

A pillar constructed and positioned using DNA nanotechnology holds two gold nanoparticles and a dye molecule to enhance fluorescence over a hundred fold.

Reviews of DNA nanotechnology-atomically precise microscale objects

Two open access reviews portray the widening approach of DNA nanotechnology toward more complex atomically precise systems.

DNA nanotechnology builds solar energy antenna

A simple DNA scaffold organizes light-collecting molecules for artificial photosynthesis.

Mass production of higher quality oligonucleotides to spur DNA nanotechnology

Biotechnology-based isolation and amplification of sequence-verified clones of DNA oligonucleotides will provide longer and less expensive materials for building complex DNA nanostructures and nanomachinery.

Drexler&#39s book tour extends to U.S. May6-9

Recently we pointed at a Forbe’s interview with Eric Drexler, in anticipation of his pending new book Radical Abundance. The book  has shipped, and Drexler’s tour schedule now includes a few stops on the coasts of the U.S: New York: May 6th Los Angeles: May 8th & 9th Seattle: May 9th Find exact times and… Continue reading Drexler&#39s book tour extends to U.S. May6-9
