Nanotechnology for medicine: Harvard's new Kavli Institute to develop tiny machines for nanomedicine

Philanthropist Fred Kavli has extended his nanotech research giving to found the Kavli Institute for Bionano Science and Technology at Harvard. From the Harvard press release: The Kavli Foundation and Harvard University have agreed to establish the Kavli Institute for Bionano Science and Technology (KIBST). The endowment from the Kavli Foundation will help to boost… Continue reading Nanotechnology for medicine: Harvard's new Kavli Institute to develop tiny machines for nanomedicine

Tour Harvard's nanotechnology center — and fix website

Attendees at this year’s Lux Executive Summit (pdf) will get to tour Harvard’s Center for Nanoscale Systems. As an alumna of the rival school down the street (MIT), I suggest that while you’re there, you help tweak their website, which has one of the least impressive nano definitions I’ve seen: The term nanoscale refers to… Continue reading Tour Harvard's nanotechnology center — and fix website

Purdue builds one-of-a-kind nanotech lab

Purdue University is extremely serious about being a leader in nanotech and they are putting serious money into that goal. They’ve just opened a new nanofabrication cleanroom that sounds unique: combining the usual semiconductor capabilities with nanobio work, in cleanrooms that connect to each other. This sounds very handy for cool cross-disciplinary R&D. From the… Continue reading Purdue builds one-of-a-kind nanotech lab

Being invested with 250 million RMB, the Institute is co-constructed by Zhejiang Provincial government, Zhejiang University and the US California… Continue reading California NanoSystems Institute starts joint venture in China

Kavli to fund new Nano prize, starting in 2008

Prizes are now all the rage. Fred Kavli is founding three new prizes including one in nanotech, to be selected by the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters. "I think we'll be more daring," than the Nobel awards, he said, because they would seek to reward scientific breakthroughs more quickly than the conservative Nobel system. [We at Foresight say: the more nano prizes, the better. Welcome to the nano prize community, Mr. Kavli! –CP]

Catching the nano wave

molecool writes "CNN reports that a proposal is now making the rounds to create a partnership between government, academia and the semiconductor industry to foster advanced nanotechnology research in the United States. Could this become something like the Manhattan project for creating the first molecular assembler?"

China has embraced nanotechnology

Anonymous Coward writes "China has embraced nanotechnology. Alexandr Nemets reports on the 'nanotechnology revolution' that has been taking place in China during the past five years. http://www.scidev.net/Features/index.cfm?fuseactio n=readFeatures&itemid=319&language=1"
