Molecular Machine Bountied Brainstorm By James Boyd If you had $50 M to spend to advance progress on molecular machines, what would you spend it on? I would spend the $50 million assembling a distributed molecular machine research program composed of multiple teams. High-Level Budget Breakdown $25 Million: Theoretical and Computational Research Grants$25 Million:… Continue reading Molecular Machine Bountied Brainstorm By James Boyd
Today’s nanotechnology harnesses current progress in chemistry, physics, materials science, and biotechnology to create novel materials that have unique properties because their structures are determined on the nanometer scale. Some of these materials have already found their ways into consumer products, such as sunscreens and stain-resistant pants. Others are being intensively researched for solutions to… Continue reading Applications
Nanotechnology draws its name from the prefix “nano”. A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter—a distance equal to two to twenty atoms (depending on what type of atom) laid down next to each other. Nanotechnology refers to manipulating the structure of matter on a length scale of some small number of nanometers, interpreted by different… Continue reading An overview of nanotechnology
