Invited talk of David Tomanek at the 1997 APS March Meeting (M3.03 Thursday morning, March 20, at 09:12 a.m. in Room 1203A, Convention Center) Morphology, Growth and Destruction of Carbon Nanotubes As an important milestone in the history of carbon (C), the discovery of fullerenes has been honored by the 1996 Nobel prize to Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto and Richard E. Smalley . Since the identification of the C "buckyball" in 1985, the field of fullerenes has experienced unparalleled growth. Maybe the most intriguing new development is the successful synthesis of a new material that consists of 100% carbon. Latest research results from Smalley's research group at Rice University [1] indicate that this material consists of identical hollow "nanotubes" that are only 1.4 nano-meters (twice the size of the "buckyball") in diameter, but up to 0.1 milli-meters long. Hundreds of such nanotubes bundle to strong nanoropes. Some of the unique properties of nanotubes are their high tensile strength, which is near 100 times that of steel of the same dimension, at substantially lower weight. Their high stiffness towards bending exceeds that of known materials. Nanotubes are also very good electrical conductors. Individual nanotubes may be the thinnest man-made structures that are stiff enough to be self-supporting, and chemically inert in the atmosphere. The synthesis of this new material by laser-evaporation of graphite enriched by a nickel-cobalt alloy is relatively uncomplicated when measured by today's technology standards. The extremely high 80-90% efficiency of nanorope production from the raw material is intriguing, as it suggests catalytically assisted self-assembly on the atomic scale. Still, significantly more research will be needed before bulk production can be expected. Significant progress in this direction is reported from Richard E. Smalley's research group at the Rice

How new technologies are modifying our way of life Nanotechnology: Are 'Molecular Assemblers' Possible? Two experts in the field of nanotechnology, K. Eric Drexler, Ph.D., cofounder of the Foresight Institute in Palo Alto, Calif., and the person who coined the term "nanotechnology," and Richard E. Smalley, Ph.D., a professor at Rice University and winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, exchanged open letters about this question. These letters are making the long cover story of the current issue of Drexler predicted a long time ago that these "molecular assemblers" devices capable of positioning atoms and molecules for precisely defined reactions in almost any environment are not only possible, but will have a huge impact. They would be able to build anything with absolute precision and no pollution. They would confer something approaching immortality. They would enable the colonization of the solar system. Like Drexler, Smalley believes the potential of nanotechnology to benefit humanity is almost limitless. But Smalley has a dramatically different conception of nanotechnology from Drexler, one that doesn't include the concept of molecular assemblers. Smalley does not think molecular assemblers as envisioned by Drexler are physically possible. In lectures and in a September 2001 article in Scientific American, Smalley outlined his scientific objections to the idea of molecular assemblers, specifically what he called the "fat fingers problem" and the "sticky fingers problem."

Conference Feedback Nanotechnology and Its Potential Impact on Transportation Annalynn Lacombe Transportation Strategic Planning and Analysis Office John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center In 1959 one of the nation's top physicists, Richard Feynman, astounded his colleagues by proposing that "The principles of physics, as far as I can see, do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom." Like most scientists at the time, Feynman's contemporaries doubted that it would ever be possible to actually manipulate atoms. Today, however, "nanotechnology" is yielding atomic- or molecular-scale components in everything from hard disks to coatings resulting in sales totaling tens of billions of dollars a year (see Science, February 20, 1998). What will be the impact of this revolutionary technology on transportation?

"It may be a greater challenge for us than the Cold War...to make it possible for 10 billion people to live the lifestyle you are used to in a way that doesn't cause unacceptable impacts on the environment," he told an audience of scientists at the International Electron Devices Meeting taking place in San Francisco this week. "There is no escaping the problem. The consequences will be terrorism, pestilence, famine."

Nanomedicine may be defined as the monitoring, repair, construction and control of human biological systems at the molecular level, using engineered nanodevices and nanostructures. Basic nanostructured materials, engineered enzymes, and the many products of biotechnology will be enormously useful in near-term medical applications. However, the full promise of nanomedicine is unlikely to arrive until after the development of precisely controlled or programmable medical nanomachines and nanorobots. Such microscopic machines were first hypothesized by the Nobel-winning physicist Richard Feynman in 1959 , and later were described at length by K.

A Debate About Assemblers On Physics, Fundamentals, and Nanorobots: A Rebuttal to Smalley's Assertion that Self-Replicating Mechanical Nanorobots Are Simply Not Possible K. Eric Drexler, Ph.D.; David Forrest, ScD.; Robert A. Freitas Jr., J.D.; J. Storrs Hall, Ph.D.; Neil Jacobstein, M.S.; Tom McKendree Ph.D.; Ralph Merkle Ph.D.; Christine Peterson The "Fat Fingers" Problem The "Sticky Fingers" Problem Reductio ad Absurdum References The September 2001 issue of Scientific American was devoted to nanotechnology. It had an article by Nobelist Richard E. Smalley [ ] in which he said: "Self-replicating, mechanical nanobots are simply not possible in our world." In support of this remarkable assertion, two principal objections are advanced: the "fat fingers" problem and the "sticky fingers" problem. "Both these problems are fundamental," Smalley writes, "and neither can be avoided." Here we show that neither problem represents a fundamental barrier that will prevent the construction of self-replicating, mechanical nanorobots. Further, Smalley's objections refer to designs that he himself proposed, not the designs of Drexler, whom he attempted to refute. The "Fat Fingers" Problem Smalley has previously stated [ ] that: "Chemistry is the concerted motion of at least 10 atoms." As this excluded a large part of well-known chemistry, it is not surprising that he now more circumspectly [
