Watch Station Tau One - Brief information and links on using biological motors for nanotechnology. San Jose Mercury News - Nanotechnology from science fiction to fact Feynman - There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom - a transcript of the classic talk given by Richard Feynman at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at Caltech. Small world - It's a small, small, small, small world by Ralph C. Merkle. This is an extended web version of the article published in the Feb/Mar 1997 issue of MIT Technology Review. This version has greater technical detail and embedded links A Mechanical Artificial Red Cell: Respirocytes - First nanorobot device design paper ever published in a peer-reviewed, mainstream medical journal. First Chemical Reaction performed via STM - Major Milestone: scientists at the University of Berlin use a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to manipulate single molecules to perform a complete chemical reaction. World's Smallest Nanotubes - Scientists from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have succeeded in fabricating the smallest single-walled carbon nanotube in the world, with a diameter of only 0.4 nanometers. (Standard nanotubes are 1.3 nm). Hewlett-Packard Labs Worldwide - News - HP Labs scientists have created the first molecular-based logic gate. Intel builds world's smallest transistors - Transistors three atoms thick could boost chip speeds sixfold in five years. NEC: Press Release - Ultra Precise Nanometer-scale 3D Production Technology used to make world's smallest wineglass Nanotubes Fall into Line - Technology Review - IBM researchers develop a technique for growing nanocrystals which yield perfectly aligned, dense groves of single-wall nanotubes, and controls exactly where the crystals are deposited. Is the future nano? - Chembytes e-zine - Overview of nanotechnology: yesterday and today. Nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) face the future - PhysicsWeb - A host of novel applications and new physics could be unleashed as microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) shrink towards the nanoscale (significant useful technical detail) Tighten your nano belt! - Why Files - Nanobelts join nanotubes in the world of nanotechnology. Carbon Nanotube Integrated Circuit - Physics News - current densities hundreds of times greater than that of common metals; also: heat conductivity almost as high as that of diamond; superconductivity in nanotube ropes; nanotube/buckyball peapods; nanotubes as atomic force microscope probes. Size Matters: Smaller is Better - Cornell Magazine OnLine - The Nanobiotechnology Center at Cornell University, and what their interdisciplinary group is up to. Carbon Nanotube Transistors - IBM News - IBM scientists have developed a breakthrough transistor technology by building the world's first array of transistors out of carbon nanotubes using a new technique called "constructive destruction". Space Elevators Get A Lift - Space Daily - using nanotubes to construct the cable for a space elevator Inorganic Nanotubes - About.com - The arrangement of atoms into cylindrical nanocrystals is a stable phase for numerous elements. The inert nature of boron nitride and tungsten disulfide nanotubes makes them particularly durable molecular components for NEMS.
