Our thanks to the Institute for Alternative Futures for arranging the lecture. Dr. Gregory Fahy discusses his presentation on medical applications of nanotechnology with participants at Foresight's First General Conference in November 1992. Pathways to Molecular Nanotechnology Molecular nanotechnology has many precedents. Enzymes are natural molecular machines that adsorb individual reactant molecules from the surrounding solution and, as a result of precisely orienting them with respect to each other in a protected "nanoenvironment," catalyze reactions in a highly specific manner at very high speeds and under mild reaction conditions. This simple process in biological systems ultimately allows synthesis of structures as diverse as carbon dioxide and hair. In fact, living organisms are naturally-existing, fabulously complex systems of molecular nanotechnology. If nature can produce the biochemical capabilities of living cells by accident, molecular engineers should be able to accomplish comparable, but broader capabilities by design, guided in part by the examples provided by living systems. Living organisms are naturally-existing, fabulously complex systems of molecular nanotechnology.

Project-Number : BBW 99.0508 Project Partners : Abstract As miniaturization of electronics devices progresses from the sub-micron to the few nanometre scale, the influence of quantum mechanical effects on device operation becomes so dominating that 'traditional' semiconductor devices suffer severe performance degradation or cease to function at all. Thus it is essential that devices be developed which operate because of quantum mechanical effects rather than in spite of them. Various candidate structures for such devices have been proposed; but often they cannot be manufactured in a reproducible way, require prohibitive processing tolerances or make use of tunnelling junctions formed by random dopant arrangement and thus need to be tuned individually to suitable operating conditions. It is the aim of the simulation work package of NANOTCAD to develop a simulation framework that can be used to study candidate structures for semiconductor based nanoelectronics devices in order to find out whether or not they might be suitable for ultra large scale integration.

HOME Full Contents Contact Us Business ... HOME Figure 1 Introduction At its ultimate implementation, the nanocomputer is the smallest manufacturable mesoscopic fractal robotic cube engineered to fulfill an additional role - that of a dedicated computing system. The design of a fractal nanocomputer is no trivial task using conventional principles. However, using fractal nanotechnology principles, the exercise reduces to a fairly simple exercise where you build a fractal nanocomputer at the large scale and providing you followed fractal principles, the computer technology scales downward to whatever resolution limit imposed by the technology you are using. Employing The Functionality of The Built in Microcontroller of a Robotic Cube All active robotic cubes have a limited microcontroller to perform basic operations such as communications and control of internal mechanisms. To make a fractal nanocomputer, you can increase the power of the microcontroller and / or farm out existing functionality to turn the system into a fractal nanotechnology compatible computer. The system is fractal because you can tile successively smaller robotic cubes in the same structure as illustrated in figure 1; increasing the power of the computer as each cube is added. (You need to ensure that there are some cubes in the structure that posses both smaller and larger interfaces to allow the two different scales of computers to mix.) Providing the smaller robotic cubes retain the same functionality as the larger computers then you can expand the power of the collective of CPUs to perform computationally intensive tasks like data processing and number crunching by paralleling up the CPUs through the built in fractal operating system.

By Tiffany Kary Staff Writer February 11, 2002, 4:00 AM PT news analysis Nanotechnology was once the stuff of science-fiction fantasy: Tiny robots tinkering on a microscopic scale, killing cancers or eradicating pollution. Today, spurred by research and investment, the science of building almost unfathomably small things is maturing with the help of a growing number of devotees in the technology industry and on Wall Street. Technology leaders such as IBM, Intel and Hewlett-Packardas well as start-ups and the U.S. governmentare spending big bucks to make the science of nanotechnology commercially viable. They're building a world in which the technology will be used for memory chips, mini-computers, cancer treatments and even military applications. At the simplest level, nanotechnology is the manipulation of single atoms and molecules to create objects that can be smaller than 100 nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, which is about a hundred-thousandth of the diameter of a human hair, or 10 times the diameter of a hydrogen atom.

Nanotechnology RECENT NEWS: 11th Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology, Oct. 9-12, 2003, San Francisco Airport Marriott, Burlingame, CA, USA Foresight Senior Associates Gathering , May 2-4, 2003, Crowne Plaza Cabana, Palo Alto, California The next few paragraphs provide a brief introduction to the core concepts of molecular nanotechnology, followed by links to further reading. Manufactured products are made from atoms. The properties of those products depend on how those atoms are arranged. If we rearrange the atoms in coal we can make diamond. If we rearrange the atoms in sand (and add a few other trace elements) we can make computer chips. If we rearrange the atoms in dirt, water and air we can make potatoes. Todays manufacturing methods are very crude at the molecular level. Casting, grinding, milling and even lithography move atoms in great thundering statistical herds. It's like trying to make things out of LEGO blocks with boxing gloves on your hands. Yes, you can push the LEGO blocks into great heaps and pile them up, but you can't really snap them together the way you'd like. In the future, nanotechnology will let us take off the boxing gloves. We'll be able to snap together the fundamental building blocks of nature easily, inexpensively and in most of the ways permitted by the laws of physics. This will be essential if we are to continue the revolution in computer hardware beyond about the next decade, and will also let us fabricate an entire new generation of products that are cleaner, stronger, lighter, and more precise.

More simulations and reaction movies are available here . Zyvex has several open source and free tools available for modelling, and people wishing to get involved are welcome to participate in this work. It is a certainty that we cannot build any interesting nanotechnology without powerful computer-aided design software. The amount of software needed for this process is enormous, and there are a number of subproblems to deal with: Physical design Physical design, from system design tools (I want to build a car) to detailed component design (the doorknob should look like this) to detailed assembler instructions (which subcomponents to assemble first, and where the atoms go in those) is one pathway thru this system. Simulation Before building something we can't see, if would be useful to simulate the mechanisms we have designed. Simulation might start at a system level (let me simulate a test drive of the car), move to the mechanisms (make sure I can open and close the door), down to the molecular dynamics of the moving parts (make sure the fuel pumps don't fly apart when spun very fast on a very hot day). Test In order to know if we have succeeded in building a correct device, we need a test plan, both during construction, and a final test to assure proper operation. Assuring fail-safe operation is related to this; these complex systems must have built-in self test and the ability to fail gracefully if damaged.

NASA applications of molecular nanotechnology Al Globus, David Bailey, Jie Han, Richard Jaffe, Creon Levit, Ralph Merkle, and Deepak Srivastava Published in The Journal of the British Interplanetary Society , volume 51, pp. 145-152, 1998. Abstract Laboratories throughout the world are rapidly gaining atomically precise control over matter. As this control extends to an ever wider variety of materials, processes and devices, opportunities for applications relevant to NASA's missions will be created. This document surveys a number of future molecular nanotechnology capabilities of aerospace interest. Computer applications, launch vehicle improvements, and active materials appear to be of particular interest. We also list a number of applications for each of NASA's enterprises. If advanced molecular nanotechnology can be developed, almost all of NASA's endeavors will be radically improved. In particular, a sufficiently advanced molecular nanotechnology can arguably bring large scale space colonization within our grasp. Introduction This document describes potential aerospace applications of molecular nanotechnology, defined as the thorough three-dimensional structural control of materials, processes and devices at the atomic scale.

On-line Courses UALR building a better computer...with nanotechnology By Billy Bird Dr. Jerry Darsey and researchers in UALR's Center for Theoretical Studies of Molecular and Biomolecular Systems are conducting research in nanotechnology involving transition atoms in nanotubes. Single-walled carbon nanotubes are only 1/50,000th the diameter of a human hair, but are known to have extraordinary mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties. UALR scientists are working to model metallic elements inside nanotubes that have properties best suited for ideal energy transfer and energy diffusions between the different parts of a nanotube. By creating these models, UALR researchers dramatically refine the choices of elements used by synthetic chemists in developing a wide range of improved products using nanotechnology. So how does all this translate to a faster computer? One of the most exciting applications of nanotube research is the potential development of "nanologic circuits." According to Darsey, we are fast-approaching the limits of current silicon chips and new nanologic circuits would allow scientists to place 100, even 1,000 times the number of circuits on a square-inch microchip. Nanologic circuits mean faster, smaller computers that use less energy. "This is an important area of science — one that is growing quickly," said Darsey. "More and more people are working in this particular field, but we have been doing nanotechnology research at UALR for the past five or six years."

Computer Power User E-mail This To A Friend Nanotechnology Page(s) 56-59 in print issue Shrinking The PC Think that tiny CPU powerhouse in your hopped-up desktop rig is an impressive hunk of hardware? Don’t get cocky, kid. If all goes according to plan in the labs at Bell, HP, IBM, and startups around the world, advances in nanotechnology will make your 1.8GHz kick-butt processor look like an abacus. In fact, one of the leaders of the nanotechnology revolution, Stan Williams, head of Basic Research at HP Labs in Palo Alto, Calif., claims, “The age of computing has not yet begun.” By designing circuits and microprocessors that are smaller than the eye can see, “It should be possible to compute at least 1 billion times (and possibly much more) more efficiently than is currently possible. When we consider how much more powerful such systems would be, our current technology is trivial by comparison.” Williams is talking about the real new, new thing: nanotechnology, or the ability to manipulate simple materials at the molecular level, in this case, to make functioning computer components that are a thousandth of the width of a human hair. Instead of etching transistors onto silicon that is microns wide, emerging techniques will rearrange molecules and atoms that are nanometers wide in materials such as carbon and even crystals so that they can be made to act as transistors, wires, or even processors in computers that are thousands of times more powerful than the ones we use today. These new techniques will let computer processor and storage manufacturers get beyond the natural limits of writing transistors onto silicon, a limit most experts believe we will hit in the next 15 years.
