Productive nanosystems on AAAS nanotechnology site

We’ll end the week on an upbeat note: It’s good to see the American Associate for the Advancement of Science ā€” AAAS, publisher of the journal Science ā€” covering long-term nanotechnology prospects on their EurekAlert website. An updated essay by Eric Drexler looks at “Revolutionizing the Future of Technology“. Excerpts: Why focus on productive nanosystems… Continue reading Productive nanosystems on AAAS nanotechnology site

Productive Nanosystems Roadmap meeting at Brookhaven Nat'l Lab

The Foresight/Battelle-sponsored International Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems working group will be meeting next week at Brookhaven National Lab in the U.S. The team is having good success so far, and new corporate or governmental sponsors can still join and participate. A conference is being planned for Spring 2007 to present the Executive Summary and… Continue reading Productive Nanosystems Roadmap meeting at Brookhaven Nat'l Lab

New version of Productive Nanosystems film released

Foresight Participating Member Mark Sims of Nanorex brings to our attention a new version of the five-minute film Productive Nanosystems: from Molecules to Superproducts posted at Google video. The description: “Visualizing productive nanosystems and molecular manufacturing is a major challenge in communicating the power of this technology. To help address this problem, Nanorex (http://www.nanorex.com )… Continue reading New version of Productive Nanosystems film released

Intro to productive nanosystems

As we enter 2006 our thoughts turn to the future: what can we expect from nanotechnology as it reaches its full potential? For a quick introduction, check out Productive nanosystems: the physics of molecular fabrication (pdf, 0.6 MB) by K. Eric Drexler, published in Physics Education. It gets quite technical, but even the less technical… Continue reading Intro to productive nanosystems

Productive Nanosystems Roadmap: more info

Kathy White of ExtremeNano covers the Roadmap presentation last Thursday at the Foresight Conference, quoting Alex Kawczak of Battelle: ” ‘Our roadmap is going to encourage collaboration across many, many industries,’ Kawczak said. ‘We are shaping the future by providing the framework for collaboration that has the great potential to impact all industries in the… Continue reading Productive Nanosystems Roadmap: more info

Productive Nanosystems Roadmap gets underway

While most Foresight Conference participants headed for home, the Steering Committee and Working Group of the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystem buckled down for some hard work to kick off the Roadmap process. We are extremely pleased to announce that Sun Microsystems has joined as a corporate sponsor of the Roadmap. It was especially helpful… Continue reading Productive Nanosystems Roadmap gets underway

Interview on Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems

Check out the interview of Foresight president Scott Mize over at Nanotechnology Now on the “Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems.” Excerpt: “The ‘Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems‘ will chart anticipated developments in nanotechnology which will be required to take us from current abilities to advanced nanosystems. The Roadmap will examine what can be developed in… Continue reading Interview on Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems

Nanotechnology roadmap draws attention for importance of nanosystems design

On the Editor’s Page at Medical DeviceLinkCom, Shana Leonard writes about the crucial need for design and modeling techniques to guide nanosystems development toward fabrication, and cites the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems. From “A Different Kind of Intelligent Design” Drawing from numerous workshops held from 2005 to 2007, Battelle (Columbus, OH) and the Foresight… Continue reading Nanotechnology roadmap draws attention for importance of nanosystems design

Adding to the toolbox for making complex molecular machines

A set of rationally engineered transcriptional regulators for yeast will make it easier to build complex molecular machine systems in yeast, some of which may become useful additions to pathway technologies for atomically precise manufacturing and productive nanosystems.

Animate Future Reality

At the recent Foresight conference, the presentation "Productive Nanosystems: from Molecules to Superproducts", a collaborative work between John Burch and K. Eric Drexler was well received.

Thanks to Mark Sims, President of the nano-CAD software company, Nanorex, the Foresight Institute has a $10,000 challenge grant running through November 15, 2004 with the aim of expanding on these animation/film efforts. It takes us back to that age old axiom — "a picture is worth a thousand words"…

Here is your opportunity to support the creation of more pictures…

One can either go to this form

… and click on "not a membership, but another donation button" and enter: "Animation Completion" in the purpose of this donation field.

Or if you want to send in your donation by US post or fax print out and send in this form.

Ed. Note… Yes I know this can be viewed as blatant commercial promotion of the Foresight Institute. But on the other side of the coin is the fact that robust MNT will potentially save ~50 million lives a year. There is an old saying — "one must begin by being there". And if it takes animations and simulations to fire the imagination to get us there then I can't imagine a more noble cause deserving our support. My hat is off to Mark for understanding this.
