Nanotechnology Is BIG at NIST Consider work under way at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where research truly is pushing the limits of technology. Here, scientists and engineers are building atom and electron counters, single-photon turnstiles, ultracold ion and atom traps, and lasers that generate uniform pulses of light that last only a few trillionths of a second. For NIST, the quest to design, manipulate, manufacture, and assemble at the molecular and atomic levels translates into a full agenda of demanding measurement jobs and related tasks. Already, more than 1,700 companies in 34 nations reportedly are pursuing the commercial promise of nanotechnology. Mastery of the almost infinitesimally small, however, will require an underlying technical foundation. Just like gage blocks (standardized sets of hardened steel blocks of accurately determined thicknesses) and other widely adopted measurement tools that enabled the rise of mass production and interchangeable parts, exceedingly accurate measurement tools and other underpinning generic technologies will be essential to realizing the anticipated bounty of nanotechnology products and services.

102. Nanotechnology And Future Supercomputing Although molecular electronic computers will surely be faster, molecular mechanical nanotechnology implies atomby-atom control of complex structures; http://www.aeiveos.com/~bradbury/Authors/Engineering/Drexler-KE/NaFS.html

Nanotechnology and Future Supercomputing K. Eric Drexler CS Department, Stanford University , Stanford, CA 94305 from Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Supercomputing , International Supercomputing Institute (1988) Abstract . The advance of technology in chemistry, biochemistry, and micromanipulation is carrying us toward the ability to build complex molecular structures, including molecular machines and molecular electronic devices. Although molecular electronic computers will surely be faster, molecular mechanical computers are easier to design and analyze. Their capabilities set lower bounds to the performance of supercomputing systems in the coming era of nanotechnology. 1. INTRODUCTION Nanotechnology is a projected technology based on a general ability to build objects to complex atomic specifications [ ]. It takes its name from the nanometer scale of the structures it can produce; a cubic nanometer of material typically contains over a hundred atoms ( Figure 1 ). Size alone does not define nanotechnology, however. Nanotechnology will not be limited to making small structures [ ]; further, just as cigarettes and bubble pipes (which make micron-scale smoke particles and soap films) are not tools of microtechnology, so not all processes that make nanometer-scale products (which include simple molecules, ultrathin films, and submicron lines) are examples of nanotechnology. Nanotechnology implies atom-by-atom control of complex structures; microtechnology implies the fabrication of complex, microscopic structures without this control.

Perhaps a little bit of both Ronald Bailey When it comes to the possibilities of nanotechnology, it can be hard to know what to expect: glittering visions of abundance and long, healthy life spans; fears of out-of-control world-destroying devices, pervasive surveillance tyrannies, and devastating nanotech wars; or maybe all of the above. The Foresight Institute's First Conference on Advanced Nanotechnology held last week across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., offered hope, fear, and audacious scenarios for the future.

Nano Home Welcome Nano Home About Us Mission Organization ... Contact Us Your Mission of Docking with the NanoComputer Dream Team has Successfully Been Accomplished! Congratulations and Welcome! Browse around and then join in our quest and make History with us! The NanoComputer DreamTeam has been on line since 1996, providing a place for all to come and learn about this exciting new field. Many have been involved in trying to develop a NanoComputer as volunteers sharing information online, while others were attempting to create a ScreenSaver for the DreamTeam. It has always been a website where the exchange of ideas are honored and appreciated, welcoming the scientists and novice alike, as well as the public surfing for new information and the students looking for direction. During the past two years the Officers of the Corporation have been focused on developing many education and information projects while observing the quantum growth of this field. The last few months have brought daily news articles concerning new businesses, alliances and Initiatives around the world. Most of the news releases are aimed at the people already involved in Nano. The actual public domain does not have a forum that explains the developments, nor the reason behind the research. As a group we have decided to move our efforts forward with viable solutions to the many areas of NanoTechnology, NanoScience and NanoEducation that aligns with our mandate to provide a public forum with public domain access. Browse the site and Join us for the Dawning of the New ERA!
