Arthur Kantrowitz, 1913-2008, Foresight Advisor

It is with great sadness that we report the death of Prof. Arthur Kantrowitz, a founding Advisor of Foresight Institute and an early supporter of molecular nanotechnology concepts when they were first developed at MIT in the late 1970s by then-student K. Eric Drexler. Arthur was an amazingly innovative scientist and technologist, as described in… Continue reading Arthur Kantrowitz, 1913-2008, Foresight Advisor

Defining international standards for nanotechnology

You might think that by now the definitions of terms like “nanotechnology” and “nanosystems” would be firmly established. In fact the process of arriving at an international consensus is more difficult than you might expect. Representing Foresight in the effort to define these and other terms is David R. Forrest, Ph.D., President of the Institute… Continue reading Defining international standards for nanotechnology

Which way(s) to advanced nanotechnology?

Will nanotechnology culminate with diamondoid nanorobots produced in nanofactories by atomically precise mechanosynthesis, or with “soft” machines that mimic the way biological molecular machines work?

Large area graphene films may lead to inexpensive nanotech solar cells

In a proof-of-concept demonstration, large area graphene films several atomic layers thick were inexpensively produced.

Automated molecular evolution as a tool for nanotechnology

Lab-on-a-chip technology has been used to automate the evolution of molecules so that this approach might prove useful for nanotech purposes.

Inspirational nanotechnology images on new site

Getting experimental results in nanotechnology can be a long, hard slog — those doing this work need and deserve inspiration. Beautiful nanoscale images — both of current results and future designs — can help. Damian Allis shows us some of his own images in his post about a new nanoscale art/gallery site called Nanohedron. From… Continue reading Inspirational nanotechnology images on new site

Feynman prize finalist Fraser Stoddart in nanotechnology webcast

For your nanotech weekend viewing enjoyment, we bring to your attention a free webcast posted by Institute of Nanotechnology (UK) of a lecture by Sir Fraser Stoddart entitled Chemistry and Molecular Nanotechnology for Tomorrow’s World. The IoN webcast system gives you video, audio, and his slides all together at one time. It worked pretty well… Continue reading Feynman prize finalist Fraser Stoddart in nanotechnology webcast

Deadline Monday: Atomically-precise nanotechnology

In case you are not on Foresight’s nanotechnology email list, be aware that Monday is the last day to save a great deal of money — $300 — on the 14th Foresight Conference on advanced nanotech: the Productive Nanosystems Conference, held jointly with SME this year. By registering on or before this Monday, Sept. 17,… Continue reading Deadline Monday: Atomically-precise nanotechnology

Nanotechnology: Enough with the wet/dry debate already

Nanowerk brings to our attention some confusion on an IEEE blog: Somewhere along the line, the advocates for molecular nanotechnology (MNT) seem to have lost interest in actually seeing molecular manufacturing come to pass if it meant that the concepts of the mechanically engineered approach (Dry) are abandoned in favor of a biologically engineered method… Continue reading Nanotechnology: Enough with the wet/dry debate already
