Keeping an Eye On NanoGram Corp.
I read about a lawsuit claiming some supplement fish oils containing nanograms of PCBs. Upon reading more about fish oils, I came across a Milpitas, CA-based company named NanoGram. NanoGram uses nanotechnology to "work with a variety of materials, build precise composition and phases and synthesize powders, coatings and films."

Carbon Nanotubes Used To Improve Batteries
MIT is helping improve batteris by "using carbon nanotubes to replace the oxide-based positive electrode."
"Detailed tests showed the new batteries hold five times as
much energy as conventional quick-discharging devices called
capacitors do, and they deliver that power 10 times as quickly
as conventional lithium ion batteries can."

AzNanotech.net Domain Lives For Another Year
Although my nanotechnology resources are turning stale, I went ahead and renewed the AzNanotech.net domain name for another year.
This is confirmation of the renewal of the domain you registered
with Gandi :
AZNANOTECH.NET
Your domain has been renewed for 1 year(s) without error. The new
expiration date is: 2011-06-12 15:56:25

Florida State Univ. Integrated NanoScience Institute
Florida State University has an "interdisciplinary cluster of faculty who form the Integrative NanoScience Institute (INSI)."
"Nanotechnology is already saving lives, and will be crucial to the
sustainability of life as we know it on Earth." -- Steven Lenhert

That's a Small Logic Gate
@nanofoo received the following tweet from
@CACMmag on 2010.04.02.
Researchers have created a nanoscale mechanical logic gate that could form the basis of tiny mechanical computers. http://bit.ly/aHxHpk [02 April 2010, top] |

Nanobots and Gene Therapy
Here comes the future.
"U.S. researchers have developed tiny nanoparticle robots that
can travel through a patient's blood and into tumors where they
deliver a therapy that turns off an important cancer gene."

Russia Investing In Nanotechnology
It's a world wide race to the top. Nano today, molecular nano tomorrow.
"Russia is pushing ahead with plans to develop a knowledge
and technology-based economy. The State Duma has adopted
a law to establish a state nanotechnology corporation."

I Need To Learn About Qubits
I need to be learning about qubits and quantum computing.
"Every time you add an electron or other object to a quantum
problem, the complexity of the problem doubles," says James
Whitfield, a graduate student at Harvard. "The great thing
is that every time you add a qubit to the computer, its
power doubles too."
Professor Aspuru-Guzik says, "a computer of 'only' 150 qubits or so would have more computing power than all the supercomputers in the world today, combined." Wired.com::Quantum Computer Simulates Hydrogen Molecule Just Right [01 February 2010, top] |
1st Nanofactories Then Personal Nanofactories?
@nanofoo tweeted the following on 2010.01.18.
Reading... "Personal nanofactories promise an end to poverty, war" http://tinyurl.com/yc9c66x Dick Pelletier's personal nanofactories (PNs) posting starts with the following.
"Imagine a world with billions of desktop-size, nonpolluting,
cheap machines that can manufacture almost anything -- clothing,
furniture, electronics, cars, even food."
Near the end of his nanofactories (PNs) posting Dick Pelletier wrote.
"General-purpose molecular manufacturing with PNs appears
to be inevitable. It could become reality as early as 2020,
and certainly should happen by 2025."
I'm not sure about 2020, but I am a bit more comfortable with 2025. In a nutshell: I cannot place a timeline on when future technologies will become part of everyday lives. Examiner.com::Personal nanofactories promise an end to poverty, war [18 January 2010, top] |

Nanotech Now, Molecular Nanotech Tomorrow
Examiner.com::When will molecular nanotech's first assembler be developed? If only I knew the answer! Just like Dick Pelletier, I too "think molecular nanotech represents a major milestone in achieving our 'magical future' and I only hope that biotech miracles expected in the 2010s will materialize in time to keep my body healthy so that I personally can enjoy this wonder time." Note: I think Dick was 79 years of age when he posed his molecular nanotech question. [10 January 2010, top] |

Wade Adams: Be a Scientist--Save the World
If it were up to me, I'd require all high school students to read, ponder and discuss the "Nanotechnology and Energy: Be a Scientist--Save the World" keynote address that Wade Adams gave at the 2nd Annual Arizona Nanotechnology Cluster Symposium.
