Extractions: @import "/includes/css/centers/centertabs.css"; CHOOSE A BROKER Search: Quotes: FOOL APPROVED Discussion Boards By Carl Wherrett and John Yelovich March 2, 2004 Last week , we looked at the science of nanotechnology what it is, where it came from, and where it's going (to the best that we can guess). Today, we'll tackle its commercial opportunities. We'll give you an overview of the three "industries" nanomaterials, nanobiotechnology, and nanoelectronics that will most use the technology, and some of the companies poised to benefit from the emerging science. The recent spike in prices of all things supposedly nano requires that we all closely scrutinize the companies in this nascent technology. There are monstrous dragons in this nano space, and careful, thoughtful research is required.

Extractions: " Be the source, in the lives of others, of that which you would have in your own life." Neale Donald Walsch Mission Statement The purpose and mission of The NanoTechnology Group Inc., is the facilitation of development of innovative Virtual Nano scale Science and subject specific math curriculum targeted for grades preK-20, featuring an Interactive Virtual Nano Science Laboratory (nano-lab) for experiential learning. Creation of challenging and innovative learning environments that include trans-diciplinary gaming platforms, visual elements and virtual tools are the predominant goals. Following the completion of nanoscience education, we will pursue the development of challenging, innovative curriculum design for all mandatory subjects. Utilizing the most recent VR animation, gaming and video software will keep our children challenged with the use of dynamic new interfaces to develop high level creative skills for their future. We will establish a pattern of scheduled upgrades until we reach the ability to enable a fully Immersive Learning Environment ClearingHouse for global access. A consortium of universities, organizations, government entities and corporations that are willing to collaborate to address the inclusion of nano scale science curriculum designed as specific expanded modules for ease-of-teacher-use has been the first goal, while developing and implementing new skill levels and raising the current standards for learning.

Links Nanotechnology is the creation of functional materials, devices, and systems through control of matter on the nanometer (1 to 100+ nm) length scale and the exploitation of novel properties and phenomena developed at that scale. A scientific and technical revolution has begun that is based upon the ability to systematically organize and manipulate matter on the nanometer length scale. Examples of nanotechnology applications:

Extractions: The problem with current computers is simply silicon. Silicon has barriers, not only in it's speed, but in it's ability to function past the limit of size. With size, silicon can't be used, even with the latest ultraviolet lithography, past a certain size because it just can't function there without error. This is where carbon Nanotubes come in. Carbon nanotubes have been talked about for years, and because of their strength could even be used for miles long cables supporting an "elevator" to space. In this application, IBM is using carbon nanotubes to replace the need for silicon in computer chips entirely.

Extractions: Purdue NanoTechnology Initiative (NTI) The objective of the Purdue Nanotechnology Initiative is to demonstrate novel techniques for the design and fabrication of nanoelectronic devices by the chemical manipulation of nanometer (10 meters) sized clusters and molecular wires. These efforts are made possible by the combined efforts of an interdisciplinary team of researchers from Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Physics who were brought together under an ARO/URI (1992-97). Metallic nanoclusters and molecular wires have been studied for some time as two active but distinct fields of research. We have recently been able to combine the expertise from these two fields to fabricate a Linked Cluster Network (LCN) : a two-dimensional superlattice consisting of nanometer-sized gold clusters electronically linked by pi-conjugated organic molecules (right). The procedure is to first form a monolayer of gold nanocrystals of uniform size which are kept from coalescing by encapsulating each gold cluster in an insulating layer of dodecanethiol ((CH Our work at Purdue has shown that organic linking molecules can provide tight mechanical and electronic binding leading to stable and reproducible cluster networks that can carry large current densities (~ 10 A / cm2). This demonstration opens up numerous possibilities. While the LCN's studied to date involve gold clusters and a limited set of conjugated linking molecules, the synthesis, characterization, and modeling techniques that have been developed can be extended to LCN's with different cluster materials and linking molecules leading to many different applications in nanotechnology. For example, if the molecular wires can be doped, then the resulting low resistance LCN's could be used to implement molecular electronic devices or to form self-assembled interconnects for conventional electronic devices or to make ultra-sensitive chemical sensors. Alternatively, LCN's made with magnetic clusters could be useful for information storage while LCN's made with special organic molecules could have strong non-linear optical properties useful for optical limiters.

Self Replicating Systems NASA and SelfReplicating Systems Implications for nanotechnology. http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/selfRepNASA.html
Extractions: by Ralph C. Merkle Further information about self replicating systems is available at http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/selfRep.html From Foresight Update No. 9, page 4, June 1990; a publication of the Foresight Institute The NASA study on which this article was based is available on the web at: In the summer of 1980, NASA and the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) sponsored a summer study by 15 NASA program engineers and 18 educators from U.S. universities to investigate advanced automation for space missions. The resulting 400-page report included a 150-page chapter on "Replicating Systems Concepts: Self-Replicating Lunar Factory and Demonstration" which proposed a 20-year program to develop a self-replicating general purpose lunar manufacturing facility (a Self Replicating System, or SRS) that would be placed on the lunar surface. The design was based entirely on conventional technology. The "seed" for the facility, to be landed on the lunar surface from Earth to start the process, was 100 tons (approximately four Apollo missions). Once this 100-ton seed was in place, all further raw materials would be mined from the lunar surface and processed into the parts required to extend the SRS. A significant advantage of this approach for space exploration would be to reduce or eliminate the need to transport mass from the Earthwhich is relatively expensive.
Web Publishing And Molecular Nanotechnology Jim s Molecular nanotechnology Web. Using the Web to help prepare Whatis nanotechnology? nanotechnology, or what could more specifically http://www.halcyon.com/nanojbl/welcome.html
Extractions: Jim's Molecular Nanotechnology Web Using the Web to help prepare for Nanotechnology, tomorrow's molecular manufacturing revolution, which will change everything you thought you knew about the future of humanity (Last update October 29, 1998) Nanotechnology, as it is expected to develop during the next 30 years, offers the potential to cure all physical diseases, reverse aging and prolong or restore vital youth, provide abundant and almost limitless wealth, open the frontiers of space, and in general empower individuals to seek fulfillment of their wildest dreams, within, of course, the limits imposed by the laws of physics. It also offers the potential to produce our worst nightmares. The transition from our current world to the world of nanotechnology will be a time of immense danger, instability, and uncertainty, as well as a time of immense opportunities. Surviving this transition, and profiting from it, will require the efforts of many energetic and talented people. I became very much interested in nanotechnology in 1986, and over the past twelve years I have also become increasingly interested in the potential of hypertext information systems for publishing information and conducting discussions. I am creating this web site to forward discussions of, and (I hope) the development of nanotechnology.
