Наноидиоты не понимают реальности крионики - Нанотехнологии и наноматериалы - наше будущее

  • Хорошо показано, как тупые идиоты "нанотехнологи" ни хрена не понимают и являются такими же тупыми идиотами, как и обычные тупые идиоты. - danila on 2008-01-25

Нанотехнологии сегодня.

  • Хороший обзор сегодняшних коммерческих достижений на сегодняшний день. - danila on 2007-12-25

Small Times - Nano re-created in business's image; is this the best of all futures?

  • In Washington last fall, alliance leaders told Sen. John McCain's staff that the House version of the nanotech bill contained a troublesome section -- a feasibility study on "molecular manufacturing" and "self-replicating nanoscale machines."
  • The alliance told McCain's staff that the government needs to focus on "specific technology areas that have relatively demonstrable market potential in the next 15 years or so"

Soft Machines » Blog Archive » Did Smalley deliver a killer blow to Drexlerian MNT?

  • Perhaps the most impressive example of a chemical reaction induced by physically moving individual reactants into place with an STM is the synthesis of biphenyl from two iodobenzene molecules
  • In conclusion, we have demonstrated that by employing the STM tip as an engineering tool on the atomic scale all

    steps of a chemical reaction can be induced: Chemical reactants can be prepared, brought together mechanically, and finally welded together chemically.

Molecular Nanotechnology - Omission in the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act

  • "Nathan Tinker, executive vice president of the NanoBusiness Alliance, recently filled me in on some of the details. In Washington last fall, alliance leaders told Sen. John McCain’s staff that the House version of the nanotech bill contained a troublesome section 'a feasibility study on “molecular manufacturing” and “self-replicating nanoscale machines.' ... The alliance told McCain’s staff that the government needs to focus on 'specific technology areas that have relatively demonstrable market potential in the next 15 years or so' and that offer a 'better return on investment,' Tinker said."
  • "Future marketing students might marvel at how a group of salesmen achieved political victory -- complete with requisite silencing of dissenters -- for an "industry" that does not yet exist. ... But for now, it is commerce that is driving the nanotech vision, redefining "real" nanotechnology to suit what is best for nano business. Business leaders and policy-makers did this by carefully selecting which theories are the ones the general public is supposed to believe, then marginalizing the rest."

Nanodot: Nanotechnology News and Discussion » Blog Archive » National Academies nanotechnology report calls for experimentation toward molecular manufacturing

  • The long-awaited report on the U.S. NNI from the National Academies’ National Research Council has just been issued.
  • Experimentation leading to demonstration supplying ground truth for abstract models is appropriate to better characterize the potential for use of bottom-up or molecular manufacturing systems that utilize processes more complex than self-assembly.

Presidential Address: Caltech, 1/21/2000

  • A historic speech by Clinton.

    "My budget supports a major new national nanotechnology initiative worth $500 million. Caltech is no stranger to the idea of nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular level. Over 40 years ago, Caltech's own Richard Symonds asked, what would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them? Well, you can see one example of this in this sign behind me, that Dr. Lane furnished for Caltech to hang as the backdrop for this speech. It's the Western hemisphere in gold atoms. But I think you will find more enduring uses for nanotechnology.

    Just imagine, materials with 10 times the strength of steel and only a fraction of the weight; shrinking all the information at the Library of Congress into a device the size of a sugar cube; detecting cancerous tumors that are only a few cells in size. Some of these research goals will take 20 or more years to achieve. But that is why -- precisely why -- as Dr. Baltimore said, there is such a critical role for the federal government."

    But one year later the vision behind the NNI has faded and pretend nanoscale technology took place of the real breakthrough tech. :-( More on that elsewhere.     - danila on 2007-12-17

Accelerating Future » Center for Responsible Nanotechnology Conference

  • Singapore is really on board with this. Government of Singapore is putting money into it.
  • Funding of long term system design by conventional funding sources has so far been disappointing. Angel funding is more effective. Thanks so far to the Alcor Foundation, the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, Kurzweil Foundation, the Life Extension Foundation, Nanorex, Zyvex.

Nanotechnology, Molecular Manufacturing, and Productive Nanosystems

    Academies Report

    Examines Molecular Manufacturing

  • This report, prepared in response to a congressional request,
    represents the first open, national-level, science-based evaluation
    of the concept of molecular manufacturing. Not surprisingly, this
    first evaluation led to an endorsement of research, also a first.
    For a decade or more, researchers eager to pursue this work have
    faced a closed door. That door now seems to be opening.
