Scaling up from atomic assembly and individual nanodevices to macroscopic systems

51 years after Richard Feynman envisioned nanoscience in his famous address, “Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” four extraordinary researchers joined in a roundtable discussion of the future of nanoscience.

Update and summary of potential applications of medical nanorobotics

Robert A. Freitas Jr. has made available his chapter on nanorobotics from the book The Future of Aging.

Proteins designed 'from scratch' function in living cells

A significant fraction of small protein sequences designed only to fold into stable structures can substitute for missing natural proteins.

One-molecule robot to be presented at January's TEDxCaltech conference

A one-molecule robot capable of following a trail of chemical breadcrumbs will be presented at TEDxCaltech-Feynman’s Vision: The Next 50 Years.

Nanotechnology powers rapid drug delivery by nanoparticles

Catalytic nanomotors deliver nanoparticles containing drugs a thousand fold faster than do nanoparticles transported by Browninan motion.

Synergistic benefit of using nanotechnology to simultaneously deliver two anticancer agents

Nanoparticles that deliver two anticancer agents simultaneously kill cancer cells more effectively than nanoparticles delivering the agents separately.

Nanotechnology-enabled quantum computing may fuel a security race

Senior Associate Alvin Steinberg suggests that we portray the nanotech race as in part a security race involving quantum computing.

Researchers Develop method to Distinguish Classical from Quantum Behavior in Electrons

Sometimes the behavior of electrons in nanostructures can be modelled using classical laws of motion, while at other times more computationally challenging quantum methods are necessary to obtain useful results. Christopher W. Ince of the Nanotechnology Research Foundation writes with news of a new method to distinguish classical from quantum behavior in electrons: Researchers from… Continue reading Researchers Develop method to Distinguish Classical from Quantum Behavior in Electrons

Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology Awarded by Foresight Institute

Palo Alto, CA – December 20, 2010 – The Foresight Institute, a nanotechnology education and public policy think tank based in Palo Alto, has announced the winners of the prestigious 2010 Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology. Established in 1993 in honor of Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, two $5,000 prizes are awarded in two… Continue reading Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology Awarded by Foresight Institute
