Extractions: Nanotechnology is manufacturing at the molecular level - building things from molecular or nano-scale components. A nanometre is one billionth of a metre (3 - 4 atoms wide). Nanotechnology proposes the construction of novel nano-scale devices possessing extraordinary properties. Through the development of such instruments and techniques it is becoming possible to study and manipulate individual atoms. This ability is almost in the grasp of humankind. Nano Size The word nano comes from the Greek word "nanos" meaning dwarf. The compound term "nano-" is the factor 10-9 or one billionth. For comparison, here are some other sizes: 0.1 nanometre: Diameter of one hydrogen atom

Extractions: Issue 17: February 20th 2002 TURING LECTURE PROMISES COMPUTING REVOLUTION WITH NANOTECHNOLOGY A technology revolution is in the offing as nanotechnology - engineering at atomic level - promises new approaches to data storage and processing. That will be the theme of Mark Welland, professor of nanotechnology at Cambridge University, at the annual Turing Lecture, organised by The BCS and the Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE), on 5 March in London. 'The anticipation of computer chips with ever increasing complexity, speed and data storage density will ultimately rely on atomic scale engineering - technology at the scale of one nanometre,' Professor Welland says. 'Nanotechnology is of fundamental importance here, in that it provides the tools for the fabrication of devices, structures and materials.' He continues, 'But nanotechnology has a lot more to offer. 'There is the opportunity for an alternative or radically different approach to producing a computer chip or data storage medium. The evolution of the computer is littered with such innovations: the progression from thermionic valves to transistors being one example.

Extractions: Posted 06 February 2003 Nanotechnology - a branch of engineering that deals with the design and manufacture of extremely small electronic circuits - is upon us. But it's not yet in the form of microscopic robots that can assemble devices, hunt for disease-causing organisms within our bloodstream, or reproduce themselves. Such science fiction visions are still a decade or two in the future. However, nanotechnology is already pushing into the high-tech manufacturing facilities that produce the high-speed semiconductors and opto-electronics devices for our future global economy. Giant companies like IBM and Intel, and a few upstarts like Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. are in a race to develop and market nanotech tools and products for the rest of us. The commercialization of nanotechnologies will take place as the scientific breakthroughs come.

Extractions: as of 2002 October 24 The position is for a postdoc to do molecular biology experiments at the lab bench to work on one or more of our three nanotechnology patents on: a molecular computer , a molecular engine and a method of molecular sequencing . At the moment the most likely project is the molecular computer project. The position is for doing bench experiments (as opposed to computer experiments) so the main requirements are skill and experience with standard molecular biology methods, especially cloning and protein purification. I'm looking for someone who is enthusiastic, energetic and a self-driven go-getter who is inventive, independent thinking, has initiative and has a driving curiosity. Although some aspects of these projects derive from advanced molecular information theory, it is not necessary to have a mathematics background beyond calculus. You must have a PhD and fit the other requirements of NIH as described below. Although our projects are often heavily intertwined with computer work, unfortunately I do not have the resources to consider people interested in doing only computer work and so only people who have a molecular biology background will be considered. There will, of course be opportunities to learn the mathematics and computer tools of

Extractions: At the last turn of the century, the average person would have had a hard time trying to understand how cars and airplanes worked, and computers and nuclear bombs existed only in theory. By the next turn of the century, we may have submicroscopic, self-replicating robots; machine people; the end of disease; even immortality. Hard to imagine? Not for the new breed of scientist who says that the 21st century could see all these science fiction dreams come true thanks to molecular nanotechnology , a hybrid of chemistry and engineering that would let us manufacture anything with atomic precision . In fact, scientists claim that even within the next 50 years, this new technology will change the world in ways we can barely begin to imagine today. With a computer, once data is broken down and organized into combinations of 1s and 0s, it can be easily reproduced and distributed. With matter, the basic building blocks are atoms and the combinations of atoms that make up molecules. Nanotechnology lets you manipulate those atoms and molecules, making it possible to manufacture, replicate, and distribute any substance known to humans as easily and cheaply as you can replicate data on a computer.

Extractions: While today you must have a device such as a laptop in hand to compute or connect to the Net, that notion will someday seem as outdated as carrying a candle to illuminate the darkness. Computing power and the vast information of the Internet will eventually permeate our surroundings much as electric light does today. The ever-expanding Internet infrastructure will play a part. But the change will come mainly with a giant leap in miniaturization, which will make today's smallest phones and computers seem laughably large. More than half a century after the Manhattan Project unleashed the power of the atom, high tech is entering its own atomic age. Computer scientists at corporate, university, and government labs around the globe are working on creating microscopic switches and even full computers built from atomic or molecular components.

Such information will be critical in designing nanometer-scale electronics and to understand the minimum dimensions at which transistors can still operate. Lundstrom and Datta will soon be recognized for their nanotech research with a prestigious Cledo Brunetti Award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. Their work also will be featured Thursday (9/13) during a National Science Foundation nanotechnology presentation in Washington, D.C. Download Photo Here Photo caption below Hicham Fenniri , an assistant professor of chemistry, is working on the design of molecules that automatically find each other and link together to form elaborate structures, and on creating synthetic materials that "evolve" and "adapt" to meet changing environmental conditions. His group is using self-assembly approaches to control the behavior of matter at the molecular level. In that work, molecules are "programmed" to automatically come together in groups of six, making rosette-shaped patterns. Numerous rosettes then combine to form tiny, rod-like structures called nanotubes, which may someday be used to manufacture "molecular photonic and electronic wires," artificial channel systems and biosensors. They also have potential medical applications, making it possible to design a new class of therapeutic devices.

Extractions: Post Comment View Comments Questions by Sander Olson. Answers by Francis Heylighen. Francis Heylighen is a Professor at the Free University of Brussels. He has been working on the evolution of knowledge and the evolution of society. He is currently working on making computer networks more intelligent and responsive. Question 1: Tell us about yourself. What is your background, and what projects are you currently working on? My background is in mathematical physics, and I got my Ph.D. in 1987 from the Free University of Brussels (VUB). I am presently a Research Professor and a co-director of the transdisciplinary research Center "Leo Apostel" at the VUB. I have been working at the VUB since 1982 first on the foundations of physics (quantum mechanics and relativity theory). The focus of my research then turned to the evolution of complexity, which I study from a cybernetic viewpoint. I have worked in particular on the evolution of knowledge (including memes), and the creation of new concepts and models. More recently, I have extended the underlying principles to understand the evolution of society, and its implications for the future of humanity. The theoretical framework I am developing intends to integrate knowledge from different disciplines into an encompassing "world view". Together with my collaborator Johan Bollen I have applied this framework by implementing a self-organizing knowledge web, that "learns" new concepts and associations from the way it is used, and "thinks" ahead of its users. As such, it forms a simple model for a future intelligent computer network, the "global brain".

What Is Nanotechnology And Why Is It Such A Buzz In The Computer Industry?
Question What is nanotechnology and why is it such a buzz in thecomputer industry? Asked by Liezhao Xie Answer nanotechnology
http://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae550.cfm

Extractions: Nanotechnology began as a term to describe research that is undertaken on very small scales - at the level of nanometres. One nanometre is one billionth of a meter - about the size of 3 atoms. More and more often, however, it is being used to describe engineering at the molecular level - building things atom by atom by atom. When we copy something from one computer to another, we reproduce data as a series of 0s or 1s - a string of digits that is held as information in the computer's disk-space. But what if we could reproduce something molecule by molecule - not just copying information, but copying what something is made of!? Ultimately the quest is to create a photocopier (Xerox machine) that copies objects! This could automate the manufacturing industry, and the precision of such processes would surely find application in surgery, air travel, education, food development, computing, ... perhaps almost every field of human endeavour, as well as creating some new ones along the way. It may never get that far, and it's going to be some time before it gets anywhere at all, but it is the prospect that nanotechnology may just turn out to be one of the greatest technical leaps forward in human history that is creating all that buzz...
