Nanotechnology Brainstorm Ahead – May 14-16

The Foresight Vision Weekend is only a month away. This is the place to speak openly and brainstorm with others who envision a revolutionary nanotechnology future. What aspect of our nanotech future most excites you — repairing the human body, ending chemical pollution, creating economic abundance, developing space resources, delivering basic necessities — like clean water — to the developing world…or how about a personal role in making all this happen?

Pre-Gathering Tutorial on Fundamentals of Nanotechnology

Palo Alto – Silicon Valley, California, May 14, 2004, 9 AM – 5 PM. The Fundamentals of Nanotechnology Tutorial, sponsored by Foresight Institute, is designed for individuals who want a quick grasp or refresher of the basics. Four top nanotech speakers will give in-depth briefings on nanotech, and answer your individual questions on the science and technology, the long-term goals and near-term opportunities of the Next Industrial Revolution.

Questioning why molecular manufacturing is dismissed

Dismissing Drexler Is Bad for Business, a Betterhumans column by Simon Smith: "Ignoring the potential of molecular manufacturing won't make it go away, so why is the US nanotech industry painting its advocates as kooks?"

Request for help from Nanodot readers: Google experts needed

From Foresight president Chris Peterson — Dear readers: I am writing a journal article about the history of the National Nanotechnology Initiative and am having trouble finding a reference. It was a quote (direct or indirect) by Stan Williams of HP on the question of whether naming the new program with the word 'nanotechnology' was seen at the time as causing a problem, due to the word already being associated so closely with molecular nanotechnology (or nanobots, etc — don't remember the wording). I saw this on the web and now cannot find it again. His name might be listed as Stanley rather than Stan. Can you find this URL? I'll come up with some kind of prize for whoever finds one I can use. Email to [email protected]. Thanks! UPDATE: it may have been taken down, in which case maybe the Internet Archive would have it?

Business Relinquishment

WesDuCharme writes "Glenn Reynolds has an interesting piece entitled A Tale of Two Nanotechs http://www.techcentralstation.com/012804A.html. He makes the case that the business community is pulling us away from molecular nanotechnology for fear of the public relations problems that advanced applications may cause. In making the case, however, he oversimplifies the dichotomy, ìThe downside is that a sometimes-bitter war has been waged within the nanotechnology community itself, between the scientists and visionaries on the one hand, and the business people on the other. The scientists and visionaries want research on advanced nanotechnologyÖî Of course there are some scientists, such as Richard Smalley (whom Glenn mentions later), who seem squarely on the side of the business community in this matter. The article goes on to make good arguments that what we might call ìbusiness relinquishmentî is unlikely to work."

Robot scientist may speed nanotech progress

WesDuCharme writes "The chicken and egg puzzle of whether AI might lead to molecular nanotechnology or vice versa is an interesting one. This abstract in Nature, reported more fully here here describes an intriguing first step in the genetics arena.

As reported in The Globe and Mail, ìThis week, a group of researchers in Britain unveiled the Robot Scientist, a device five years in the making. Not only can it ask, "What if?" it can also design some experiments to test its hypothesis, carry out those experiments and, finally, analyze the data collected before confirming or altering its hypothesis.î

Although the Robot Scientist was only going over ground already covered, the potential for speeding up scientific progress seems clear. Anyone feel timetables tightening?
