NANOTECHNOLOGY Prepared Written Statement and Supplemental Material of R. E. Smalley, Rice University, June 22, 1999 Mr. Chairman, I appreciate the opportunity today to present my views on nanotechnology. There is a growing sense in the scientific and technical community that we are about to enter a golden new era. We are about to be able to build things that work on the smallest possible length scales, atom by atom with the ultimate level of finesse. These little nanothings, and the technology that assembles and manipulates them nanotechnology will revolutionize our industries, and our lives. Everything we see around us is made of atoms, the tiny elemental building blocks of matter. From stone, to copper, to bronze, iron, steel, and now silicon, the major technological ages of humankind have been defined by what these atoms can do in huge aggregates, trillions upon trillions of atoms at a time, molded, shaped, and refined as macroscopic objects. Even in our vaunted microelectronics of 1999, in our highest-tech silicon computer chip the smallest feature is a mountain compared to the size of a single atom. The resultant technology of our 20th century is fantastic, but it pales when compared to what will be possible when we learn to build things at the ultimate level of control, one atom at a time. Nature has played the game at this level for billions of years, building stuff with atomic precision. Every living thing is made of cells that are chock full of nanomachines - proteins, DNA, RNA, etc.- each jiggling around in the water of the cell, rubbing up against other molecules, going about the business of life. Each one is perfect right down to the last atom. The workings are so exquisite that changing the location or identity of any atom would cause damage. Over the past century we have learned about the workings of these biological nanomachines to an incredible level of detail, and the benefits of this knowledge are beginning to be felt in medicine. In coming decades we will learn to modify and adapt this machinery to extend the quality and length of life. Biotechnology was the first nanotechnology, and it has a long way yet to go.

WILSON CRIMPED A nanocantilever squishes a nanotube, acting as a nanovalve. COURTESY OF SANTIAGO SOLARES T hese days, you can't swing a dead cat without hitting something with the word " nano " on it. Typically, the term refers to the extreme tininess of cleverly engineered devices and their promise to miniaturize, speed up, and revolutionize electronics, computers, and other technologies. Indeed, the proliferation of research into nanometer-scale objects promises to make them as important as their counterparts in the macroscopic world. And just as with larger creations, where the calculations of, say, a mechanical engineer are vital to the stability of a skyscraper, the design of nanodevices benefits from the same predictive aspects performed by theoretical chemists and their computers. A symposium on computational nanotechnology, held at the American Chemical Society national meeting in New Orleans last month, showcased the importance of computers in the design, improvement, and property prediction of nanodevices.

The central objective of molecular manufacturing is the design, modeling, and manufacture of systems that can inexpensively fabricate most products that can be specified in molecular detail. This would include, for example, molecular logic elements connected in complex patterns to form molecular computers, molecular robotic arms or Stewart platforms (e.g., positional devices ) able to position individual atoms or clusters of atoms under programmatic control (useful if we wish to make molecular computers and other molecular manufacturing systems), and a wide range of other molecular devices. A central concept for achieving low cost in molecular manufacturing is that of massive parallelism, either by self replicating manufacturing systems or convergent assembly journal Nanotechnology .

Nanotechnology is coming by Ralph C. Merkle , Principal Fellow, Zyvex This is the English original of an article translated into German and published in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung of Monday, September 11 2000 on page 55. In the coming decades nanotechnology could make a supercomputer so small it could barely be seen in a light microscope. Fleets of medical nanorobots smaller than a cell could roam our bodies eliminating bacteria, clearing out clogged arteries, and reversing the ravages of old age. Clean factories could eliminate pollution caused by manufacturing. Low cost solar cells and batteries could replace coal, oil and nuclear fuels with clean, cheap and abundant solar power. New inexpensive materials over fifty times stronger per kilogram than those used in today's rockets could open up space and make lunar vacations no more expensive than vacations to the South Pole. Material abundance for all the people of the earth could become a reality. Not long ago, such a forecast would have been ridiculed. Today, the President of the United States has called for a $500 million National Nanotechnology Initiative and invites us to imagine "...materials with ten times the strength of steel and only a small fraction of the weight shrinking all information housed at the Library of Congress into a device the size of a sugar cube detecting cancerous tumors when they are only a few cells in size." Scientists around the world agree this is all possible (though with big disagreements about exactly how long it will take and exactly what it will look like).

This electronic article might differ in some respects from the published version. Future advances in medical technology are usually of only academic interest to the patient of today. There is, though, a way to give today's patient access to future medical technology: cryonics .

Abstract Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level. Today's surgical tools are, at this scale, large and crude. From the viewpoint of a cell, even a fine scalpel is a blunt instrument more suited to tear and injure than heal and cure. Modern surgery works only because cells have a remarkable ability to regroup, bury their dead and heal over the injury.

The UK's National Measurement Laboratory Advanced Search Metromnia Issue 17 - Summer 2004 Contact Us Website Map Publications Metromnia Imagine a computer the size of a sugar cube or a 'Star Trek' hand-held medical device to diagnose your ailment. Science fiction? Maybe not. As outlined in this issue, it may be possible through the emerging field of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is an area of research which requires the ability to control and manipulate matter at a scale ranging from less than a nanometre up to 100 nanometres. One nanometre is one billionth of a metre. To put this scale into perspective, a single human hair is around 100,000 nanometres in width. For a process to be described as 'nanotechnology', it must involve the manipulation of matter at or near the atomic and molecular level of precision - making measurement techniques crucial to the growth of this new field. Once this precision is mastered, nanotechnology could bring an improvement to our quality of life in a number of ways, such as making manufacturing cheaper with less waste, improving our health or by making products that perform functions that we cannot presently do. This makes nanotechnology one of the most challenging and exciting fields of research in the 21st century. In the late 1960s, Gordon Moore, Director of Research and Development at Fairchild Semiconductor, predicted that the number of transistors on a given area of silicon would double around every 18 months. This doubling would in turn double the speed of the computer chips data processing. In fact this prediction has been confirmed every 18 months since Moore made it; this is 'Moore's Law'.
