Extractions: Nanotechnology is a "bottom-up" approach to engineering in which individual molecules are positioned to build tiny machines. (The prefix nano refers to the scale of a nanometer, one-billionth of a meter.) You've probably already heard the nanotech hype - predictions of molecular-sized robots programmed to eat up pollution, or of tiny machines sailing through our bloodstreams. But the reality is far more prosaic. (See "Nanotech: Engines of Hyperbole?" Wired 1.6, page 84.) Only the most tentative steps toward useful engineering tools have been made, and most studies are limited to computer simulation. With that in mind, Wired asked several nanotech experts to estimate when we will reap the rewards of their research. Molecular Assembler Nanocomputer Cell Repair Commercial Product Nanotech Law Robert R. Birge Donald W. Brenner K. Eric Drexler J. Storrs Hall Richard E. Smalley Bottom Line David Pescovitz Molecular Assembler: To easily build nanomachines, we need a device that can rotate and precisely position individual molecules. Several of those polled cite progress with scanning tunneling microscopes and atomic force microscopes, both of which are capable of pushing around individual atoms or etching submicrometer-wide lines. But engineering a device that grips molecules so they can be rotated, Birge points out, is a far more difficult feat. The forces that hold together the atoms composing the gripper have to be stronger than the atoms or molecules moved. While Drexler believes that "a crude and somewhat useful assembler" using atomic force microscopes may be just a few years away, he says "major results will require nanoscale assemblers" (machines that are themselves molecular-sized).
Nanotechnology: From Molecular Computers To Nanorobots
Where is science leading us? Can we place our best hopes for prosperity and peace in the hands of science?
http://author.senescence.info/thoughts/nanotech.html

Extractions: In this essay introduce the basic concepts behind nanotechnology and how atom-scale manufacturing, when available, will change the world. Key words: bioethics, biosciences, futurology, molecular manufacturing, molecular therapy, nanomedicine, science, transhumanism In each of our cells there are tiny machines or molecular assemblers called enzymes that can manipulate molecules and chemical reactions with a precision we don't yet fully understand. If evolution created nanomachines of such precision and efficiency, why can't we create our own nanomachines to serve our purposes? This is what Richard Feynman proposed in 1960 and that is now known as nanotechnology. Some call it molecular engineering and consists of atomic and/or molecular manipulation in order to achieve atomic precision. The consequences of such technology are beyond imagination. We are still decades away from the capacity our cells possess. Still, already serious efforts are being made to turn real this young dream. Molecular manipulation can be done to a certain degree in biotechnology singularity Transformers ). In synergy with other technologies such as

Extractions: What is Nanotechnology? Nanotechnology is the engineering of tiny machines the projected ability to build things from the bottom up , using techniques and tools being developed today to make complete, highly advanced products. Shortly after this envisioned molecular machinery is created, it will result in a manufacturing revolution , probably causing severe disruption. It also has serious economic, social, environmental, and military implications 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. Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner in physics When Eric Drexler (right) popularized the word 'nanotechnology' in the 1980's, he was talking about building machines on the scale of molecules, a few nanometers widemotors, robot arms, and even whole computers, far smaller than a cell. Drexler spent the next ten years describing and

http://www.cnet.com/4520-6022_1-104963.html

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.
Whither Nanotechnology
Besides computers, molecular nanotechnology should let us make inexpensive materials with a strengthto-weight ratio similar to that of diamond.

Extractions: Palo Alto, CA 94304 A new manufacturing technology looms on the horizon: molecular nanotechnology (http://nano.xerox.com/nano) . Its roots date back to a 1959 talk by Richard Feynman (http://nano.xerox.com/nanotech/feynman.html) in which he said, "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." http://www.foresight.org/EOC/EOC_References.html#0025 ) would be unstable unless all its pieces were in place. The final result would be stable, but all synthetic pathways leading to this result would have to pass through an unstable state, making synthesis impossible. While the broad objective has gained acceptance, as a community we have still not agreed on how best to proceed, nor on what this future technology will look like, nor on how long it will take to develop. The purpose of this paper is not primarily to focus on specific technical approaches, but to ask, "What do we need to do, as a community, to speed the development of this new technology?" Besides computers, molecular nanotechnology should let us make inexpensive materials with a strength-to-weight ratio similar to that of diamond. These would have wide ranging applications in structural and load bearing applications. Manufactured with precisely the desired shape and structured at the molecular scale to optimize material properties, we should be able to make a jet, a rocket, a car or even a chair that would, by today's standards, be remarkably light, strong, and cheap.

Extractions: Today I reassemble excerpts of my lectures delivered at various local universities on Nanotechnology the largest breakthrough of 21st century the act of purposefully manipulating matter at an atomic scale and has the ability to manage universe at a molecular perspective. The nano-era is just around the corner and I see a multi-trillion dollar industry coming for a jumpstart within 10-15 years. Nanotechnology is going to change the face of present day solutions to health problems. For instance the tiny autonomous robots that will work in bloodstream, clearing out plaque deposits, fixing various genetic flaws, looking for and eliminating cancer cells, and working in tandem with brain cells will vastly increase the human intellectual capacity. They will be like built-in doctorscruising about, taking samples, communicating diagnosis, and finally, at your design, they will deal with whatever problem they encounter by administering drugs, or performing minute surgery. The story of nanotechnology in medicine will be the story of extending surgical control to the molecular level. The easiest applications will be aids to the immune system, which will selectively attack invaders outside tissues. Immune machines will have no difficulty identifying cancer cells, and ultimately be able to track them down and destroy them wherever they may be growing. Destroying every cancer cell will cure the cancer.
