I find these musings on nanotech’s long and diverse history just fascinating. While what happened in the 2000-2005 time frame is pretty straightforward to understand in terms of science politics, I’m curious to hear more about the “middle ground” – between the first Bay Area conferences on nanotech to the Clinton speech in Jan. 2000.

Hu’s work is interesting on several levels—thanks for the additional information.
On another note, I discovered that I have a copy of Kline’s Math for Non-mathematician—between this resource that I forgot I had, and MacLane, 2010 may be the year the math muscle gets a regular workout.

@ J. Scott — Thanks. It‘s particularly interesting that Evelyn Hu’s group is working on bio-assembled materials — and in collaboration with Angela Belcher, too. As I mentioned in a post on (natural) molecular machine assembly, this is an area that could contribute greatly to developments in framework-directed, highly ordered bio/inorganic composite nanosystems.

hi,i come from taiwan.i reaserch use ultraviot light
to reduced AgNO3 and in situ polymer crosslinking,and make organic- inorganic nanocomposite, now i have troubles , how to increase
nanosilver quanity, i add AgNO3 solid to ethanol and commercial polymer than photolysis ,can author give me some ideas? and who is make this related experiments,thanks
