Arrays of atomic force probe tips are promising nanotech approaches to denser, faster, cheaper memories.
By combining the features of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) and an atomic force microscope (AFM)–two of the most useful nanotech tools–in a single instrument, IBM scientists have measured the forces necessary to move single cobalt atoms and single carbon monoxide molecules across metal surfaces.
Japanese scientists have succeeded in chemically attaching proteins specifically to the tips of multiwalled carbon nanotubes, avoiding contaminating attachments to the sides of the nanotubes.
John Faith and Billy Harvey bring our attention to progress in Dip Pen Lithography nanotech reported at Phys.org.com: Ever since the invention of the first scanning probe microscope in 1981, researchers have believed the powerful tool would someday be used for the nanofabrication and nanopatterning of surfaces in a molecule-by-molecule, bottom-up fashion. Despite 25 years… Continue reading DPN nanotechnology reaches 80 nanometers, but IBM likes DNA
Posted by Robert Bradbury: Mike Treder writes “Nanotechnology’s long-expected transformation of manufacturing has just moved closer to reality. A new analysis of existing technological capabilities, including proposed steps from today’s nanotech to advanced molecular machine systems, was released today by the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology“. The study, “Molecular Manufacturing: What, Why and How,” performed by… Continue reading Moving closer to "real" molecular manufacturing
Foresight Senior Associate Tihamer Toth-Fejel, a research engineer at General Dynamics, reports that he was able to locate 43 "nanosystems" studies in the list of NNI funded projects, some of which he reports look "somewhat promising" for molecular manufacturing. Read more to see his choice of the top seven projects funded.
Engelbart’s Unfinished Revolution: A Symposium at Stanford University. December 9, 1998. Memorial Auditorium, Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA. Stanford and the Institute for the Future present a symposium to celebrate Foresight Advisor Doug Engelbart’s inquiries into “Augmented Human Intellect”, the revolutionary vision of the computer, first presented on December 9, 1968. “The symposium will bring together an extraordinary… Continue reading Events Library 1996-1998
