The science of the small has moved a huge step forward following work in a subterranean Birmingham laboratory, reports Roger Highfield. The ultimate in surgery has been carried out in a vibration-free bunker in deepest Birmingham. Not only have scientists working there managed to remove a single atom of matter, measuring about a tenth of a millionth of a millimetre across, but they have achieved this feat even though their subject was thrashing around wildly. The feat is the ultimate in the science of the small, nanotechnology, that the practitioners hope will one day help to remove contaminants from the environment. One can also see it as an extreme version of precision chemistry, a far cry from what usually happens in a laboratory. TelegraphUK 7/20/05 Nanowires In Blood Vessels May Help Monitor, Stimulate Neurons In The Brain. Working with platinum nanowires 100 times thinner than a human hairand using blood vessels as conduits to guide the wiresa team of U.S. and Japanese researchers has demonstrated a technique that may one day allow doctors to monitor individual brain cells and perhaps provide new treatments for neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. Writing in the July 5, 2005, online issue of The Journal of Nanoparticle Research, the researchers explain it is becoming feasible to create nanowires far thinner than even the tiniest capillary vessels. That means nanowires could, in principle, be threaded through the circulatory system to any point in the body without blocking the normal flow of blood or interfering with the exchange of gasses and nutrients through the blood-vessel walls.

[Brain Death Resources] Brain Death and Technological Change: Personal Identity, Neural Prostheses and Uploading James J. Hughes Prepared for the Second International Symposium on Brain Death Second International Symposium on Brain Death Havana Cuba * February 27-March 1, 1995 Contents Abstract Introduction Social Death: Operationalizing the Death Concept Technological Change, and Changes in Social Death ... Bibliography Abstract The death at issue in the brain death debate is not an empiric reality, but a social category, "social death." It is a question of which bodies we are comfortable using and disposing of in certain ways, and not comfortable giving medicine or food as if they were "alive." Until recently both mind and body stopped functioning at the same time, and this "death" and "social death" were generally seen as one phenomenon. There were important exceptions, however, in many cultures where particular diseases and disabilities earned a social death definition before the physical death had occurred. Introduction For everyday purposes we know and can say whether an animal is alive or not. But upon closer inquiry, we find that this is, in many cases, a very complex question, as the jurists know very well. They have cudgeled their brains in vain to discover a rational limit beyond which the killing of the child in its mother's womb is murder. It is just as impossible to determine absolutely the moment of death, for physiology proves that death is an not instantaneous, momentary phenomenon, but a very protracted process. (Engels,1880

Store Foresight Update 26 Page 3 A publication of the Foresight Institute Foresight Update 26 - Table of Contents Challenges of Nanotechnology Misuse Cited in New Book on "Human Extinction" by Lew Phelps In his new book, The End of the World: The Science and Ethics of Human Extinction , philosopher John Leslie provides a broader view for those who are worried about nanotechnology-caused accidents. He devotes exactly three of his 310 pages to potential threats arising from nanotechnology. However, in that short space he suggests a Draconian political solution that many people will find unacceptable. The problem of nanotechnology misuse is almost lost within Leslie's large catalog of possible life-ending natural disasters (volcanic eruption, asteroid hits, nearby supernova, etc.), man-made disasters (unwillingness to rear children, genetic engineering run amok, production of a new Big Bang in the laboratory, etc.), and "risks from philosophy" (threats associated with religion, Schopenhauerian pessimism, ethical relativism, etc.). As farfetched as such problems may seem individually, this is a thoughtful and carefully written book whose conclusions deserve attention. Leslie's treatise arises from a "doomsday argument" advanced by cosmologist Brandon Carter, summed up as, "

Built to mass-produce automobiles more efficiently, the Rouge housed the equipment for developing each phase of a car, including blast furnaces , a steel mill and a glass plant. More than 90 miles of railroad track and conveyor belts kept Ford's car assembly line running. The Rouge model was lauded as the most efficient method of production at a time when bigger meant better. Nanogears like these may replace current manufacturing processes.

Go Home Introduction Possible Futures ... Extropianism THE SINGULARITY Last Updated: Wednesday, 01-Jun-2005 00:17:49 PDT SINGULARITY - Sometimes referred to as "the Singularity" "The postulated point or short period in our future when our self-guided evolutionary development accelerates enormously (powered by nanotechnology, neuroscience, AI, and perhaps uploading) so that nothing beyond that time can reliably be conceived." Anders Sandberg Some 20 to 140 years from now—depending on which evolutionary or systems theorist, computer scientist, technology studies scholar, or futurist you happen to agree with—the rate of self-catalyzing, self-organizing, ever more autonomous (human-independent) technological change in our local environment will undergo a "singularity," becoming effectively instantaneous from the perspective of current biological humanity. It has been postulated that events after this point must also be "future-incomprehensible" to existing humanity, though we disagree. Singularity Watch Our definition: When technology advances to the stage that we can no longer predict the ramifications. The time when social, political, cultural, technical, and/or religious preconceptions no longer apply. The break between what we know and what we cannot fathom. An eventor eventsthat cause massive change in the very fabric of our human-ness. Generally thought to foreshadow across-the-board positive changes, yielding many advances in science, longevity, survival of the species, social responsibility, and the like. Also considered evolutionary as in the next stage of human development.

Thirty Essential Nanotechnology Studies Advanced nanotechnology may build machines that are thousands of times more powerful—and hundreds of times cheaper—than today's devices. The humanitarian potential is enormous; so is the potential for misuse. The vision of CRN is a world in which molecular manufacturing is widely used for productive and beneficial purposes, and where malicious uses are limited by effective administration of the technology. CRN acts to raise awareness of the issues. We believe that even a technology as powerful as molecular manufacturing can be used wisely and well—but that without adequate information, unwise use will be far too common. The mission of CRN is to raise awareness of the issues presented by nanotechnology: the benefits and dangers , and the possibilities for responsible use.

Center for Responsible Nanotechnology New! CRN Forms Nanotech Policy Task Force 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 wide—motors, robot arms, and even whole computers, far smaller than a cell. Drexler spent the next ten years describing and
