In the last few days, other sites have directed many thousands of readers to my recent posts on knowledge and learning: How to Understand Everything (and Why), How to Learn About Everything, and A Map of Science.
The learning process I describe led me to focus on what I am persuaded is the greatest technological challenge and opportunity in the world today, a line of development important to medicine, global development, and the climate crisis. The best brief introduction is on the AAAS website, EurekAlert: Revolutionizing the Future of Technology. It’s about how to organize matter at the atomic level, but on a large scale — the goal of advanced nanotechnology.
If you’re concerned about climate change, and would like to understand the basic nature of what is happening, please take a look at Greenhouse gases and advanced nanotechnology. There‘s a simple, basic fact about the process that hasn’t really sunk home.
For technically inclined readers, I recommend Macromolecular Modeling
for Molecular Systems Engineering.
Thanks for visiting!
