Nanotechnology may someday expand your cell phone's range while improving its battery life if a prototype transistor from IBM gets to market. Researchers at the company are using nanotechnology to build a future generation of wireless transceivers that are much more sensitive than the ones found in phones today. They'll also be made with a less expensive material, according to IBM. The catch is th
Nanotechnology is about building machines on the scale of molecules. Machines made using this technology can function like normal machines like motors, robot arms, computers etc., but are built on a scale of far smaller than a cell, on a molecular level, hence the name nano technology.This technology deals at the nanometer level which one billionth, or 10-9 of a meter.

The Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes, named in honor of pioneer physicist Richard Feynman, are given in two categories, one for experiment and the other for theory in nanotechnology. Established in 1993, the prizes honor researchers whose recent work has most advanced the achievement of Feynman's goal for nanotechnology: the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of productive nanosystems."The Feynman Prizes have recognized the most important nanoresearch work for over a decade. We invite the nanotech community to let us know who most deserves to join this group of brilliant achievers," said Christine Peterson, President of Foresight Nanotech Institute.Nominations for the Feynman Prizes may be made at: www.foresight.org/prizeSource: Foresight Nanotech Institute
Last year, more than 70 experts from 13 countries - in academia, industry, governments and non-governmental agencies - accepted that challenge. In an unprecedented international collaboration, the International Council on Nanotechnology (ICON) convened two workshops aimed at defining a set of research needs for assessing potential nanotechnology impacts. The results of this multi-stakeholder effort, funded by ICON and the National Science Foundation, will be unveiled on Thursday, May 1, when ICON, in partnership with the Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies, releases the “International Assessment of Nanotechnology Environment, Health and Safety Research Needs” - a report on the findings of the two workshops.Source: Project on Emerging Nanotechnologies

1959Feynman delivers “Plenty of Room at the Bottom”Richard Feynman postulates that we can someday manipulate matter on an atomic scale. He states, “The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom. It is not an attempt to violate any laws; it is something, in principle, that can be done; but in practice, it has not been done because we are too big." This is often seen as year zero for nanotechnology because of the breadth and depth of Feynman's vision and the inspiration it gave to many, but there is no doubt there was nanotechnology before this and it would have developed as it has anyway, although maybe a little slower.1974First molecular electronic device patentedAviram and Seiden of IBM file the first ever pat
Nnotechnology is the manipulation of matter on the nanoscale. A nanometer is a very small measure of length- it is one billionth of a meter, a length so small that only three or four atoms lined up in a row would be a nanometer. So, nanotechnology involves designing and building materials and devices where the basic structure of the material or device is specified on the scale of one or a few nanometers.Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at the realm of 1 to 100 nanometers. (For reference, a piece of paper is about 100,000 nanometers thick.) At the nanoscale, matter functions differently from both the individual atomic and macroscopic scales, so some unique properties are available for use in the field.The scientific community, in its never ending quest for informati

By Joey SweeneyThe health industry is enormous today and will only get larger as the baby-boomers reach old age. With this influx of new patients comes an influx in prescriptions for drugs ranging from lowering cholesterol to increasing libidos. With such a wide range of ailments comes a wide range of pharmaceuticals to help them. These drugs are costly to produce and consequently expensive. With such a huge customer base and an increasing demand, this industry will respond to patients’ demands by expanding. As drugs become more complex, and increasingly toxic, new modes of delivery are necessary to transport them to the desired sites in the body. Nanotechnology promises to revolutionize drug delivery by offering targeted administration in addition to more efficient drug dosing.Drugs can be administered orally, topically, intravenously, rectally, or by inhalation. Each method has advantages and disadvantages. When taking a drug by mouth, some of it is decomposed via stomach acids, bi

So why is nanotechnology going to be the making of a revolution? Simply put, because it will affect almost every aspect of our lives, from the medicines we use, to the power of our computers, the energy supplies we require, the food we eat, the cars we drive, the buildings we live in and the clothes we wear. More importantly, for every area where we can imagine an impact, there will be others no-one has thought of—new capabilities, new products, new markets. Given the breadth of impact, in the short- and medium-term this will be, by and large, a gradual, insidious revolution, creeping into the world around us for many years to come, although in some areas there might be disruptive changes just over the horizon.It is important to realize the diversity of nanotechnology. It is an enabling technology, allowing us to do new things in almost every conceivable technological discipline.

Browsing around the world wide web during my luck hour and I ran into a very interesting article over at IGN that I'd like to share with everyone. In the short lifespan of this blog I have already made quite a few robot related posts, it's obvious that I have a great interest on the topic but I always say to my friends that my mind is rarely in touch with present happenings, I like to read about history and predictions for the future. Think about it, a decade or two ago who would have thought that we humans would be capable of many of the things we are doing today, stop think a little, then think of what we will be doing 10 to 20 years from now.

Do we need new legislation to regulate Nanotechnology? J.
