Founder of structural DNA nanotechnology field awarded medal by American Chemical Society

The American Chemical Society has awarded Nadrian Seeman its Nichols Medal for establishing the field of structural DNA nanotechnology, nearly 13 years after the Foresight Institute awarded Seeman the 1995 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology.

Measuring the force to push a single atom deepens understanding of nanotechnology

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.

Building chips with DNA nanotechnology

Researchers at IBM are developing DNA nanotechnology to assemble nanoelectronic components into arrays in a bid to replace current lithographic methods of making computer chips.

Fundamental advance in understanding RNA folding may advance use of RNA building blocks for nanotechnology

Stanford University scientists have achieved new, detailed understanding of how a polymer folds into a unique three-dimensional structure by using an “optical trap” to precisely unfold a functional RNA molecule.

Proteins covalently attached to carbon nanotube tips provide new tool for nanotechnology

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.

Nanomanufacturing conference: get your Foresight discount

SME has let us know that Foresight members get a discount to their upcoming Nanomanufacturing conference in the Boston area on April 22-23, which features three sessions of special interest: Understanding Nanotechnology, workshop led by Tihamer Toth-Fejel of General Dynamics, to cover topics including: brief history of nanotechnology, taxonomies and roadmaps, near-term passive structures, medium-term… Continue reading Nanomanufacturing conference: get your Foresight discount

Faster structure determinations to benefit nanotechnology

Two stories report new tools that should accelerate nanotech development by providing scientists with faster determination of molecular structures.

Precisely controlled electron beam provides top-down approach to molecular nanotechnology

French nanotech researchers have used theory to increase the precision of carving with electron beams enough to remove individual atoms from single walled carbon and boron nitride nanotubes.

DNA building blocks that change shape provide new tool for nanotechnology

Tetrahedrons made from DNA that extend and shorten in response to added short strands of DNA may provide new nanotech methods of drug delivery, but may present even more exciting possibilities for atomically precise functional nanosystems.

A new base pair for DNA nanotechnology

A new DNA base pair that works with at least one enzyme that replicates DNA opens up new possibilities for nanotech.
