For those of you who have been waiting for "real" molecular nanotechnology to arrive I would suggest that you might want to visit the highlights documenting the work of the Zettl Research Group at UCB. It has movies associated with their recent papers on a Nanoelectromechanical relaxation oscillator, a Nanoscale mass conveyor and a Synthetic Rotational Nanomotor.
I don't know how they constructed these devices but my impression is — this group is *good*!

Arizona State University is looking for students in engineering, physical science and life science to join a Graduate Research Training Program in Biomolecular Nanotechnology. Students will work on cross-disciplinary projects, but will receive their Ph.D. from one of several participating departments, to which they will apply at the time of applying to the program.
The Ninth Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology will be held at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, California from 9 -11 November 2001. The keynote speaker will be James Murday of the U.S. Naval Research Lab and Director of the National Nanotechnology Coordination Office. A special conference session on Venture Capital for Nanotechnology and a Nanotechnology Patent Roundtable will be held.
