Gaming the Future: The Book!

Category: Productive Nanosystems

Confining enzymes in specially engineered nanoporous materials may advance nanotechnology

Engineering both the pore size and chemical functionality of nanoporous materials affects both the secondary structure and the catalytic activity of the enzymes confined in the nanopores.

Physicist and television host sees future for nanotechnology and AI

In a review of physicist and television host Michio Kaku’s latest book, Foresight advisor Glenn Reynolds finds reason for optimism, but also cause for concern in the career choices of today’s brightest minds.

Mechanical manipulation of silicon dimers on a silicon surface (video)

UK scientists use mechanical force to manipulate silicon dimers on a silicon surface as a first step toward automated atomically precise manufacture of three-dimensional nanostructures.

AFM visualization of molecular robot moving along DNA scaffold (with video)

Researchers in the UK and Japan use atomic force microscopy to visualize a DNA molecular robot moving along a 100-nm DNA track.

Positional control of chemical reaction a step toward advanced nanotechnology

A step toward advanced nanotechnology has been achieved by using attachment to a surface and confinement by surrounding molecules to make two molecules react to form a product that would not form if they were free to react in solution.

Protein folding is a quantum transition

Chinese scientists demonstrate that protein folding is a quantum transition between torsion states on a polypeptide chain.

DNA molecular robots learn to walk in any direction along a branched track

In yet another in a long list of improvements to DNA based molecular machines, DNA molecular robots learn to walk in any direction along a branched track.

Advance could speed RNA nanotechnology

RNA nanostructures chemically modified to be resistant to degradation retain 3D structure and biological activity.

Twisted electron beams could lead to manipulating individual atoms and electrons

Nanofabricated holograms with lines a few nanomaters apart can twist electron beams and should make possible electron microscopes that will provide better images of nanostructures and may be able to manipulate atoms and electrons.

Scaling up from atomic assembly and individual nanodevices to macroscopic systems

51 years after Richard Feynman envisioned nanoscience in his famous address, “Plenty of Room at the Bottom,” four extraordinary researchers joined in a roundtable discussion of the future of nanoscience.
