“Nanotechnologies in Russia”
interview now available

August 13, 2009

A few months ago, I gave an interview for the scientific journal “Nanotechnologies in Russia”, and the result has now been posted at www.nanometer.ru, a leading Russian-language portal dedicated to nanotechnology. This website provides a window into nanotechnology in Russia; I’ve linked the home page in English here (a Google translation).
The interview centers on [...]

The Technology Roadmap Translated: Russian

May 13, 2009

The Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems explores how current laboratory techniques for atomically precise fabrication can be extended to develop progressively more powerful fabrication technologies; it focuses on current capabilities and next-stage applications, then outlines paths toward high-throughput molecular manufacturing.
The Russian Academy of Sciences has now made a translation of the Technology Roadmap [pdf] available. [...]

Modular Molecular Composite Nanosystems

November 10, 2008

Framework-directed self assembly
Researchers have amassed a wonderful collection of functional, atomically precise components with potentially useful properties — optical, electronic, chemical, mechanical, and so on — but they haven’t been assembled to make complex, atomically precise nanosystems. I think of this as the “circuit-board problem”: Functional devices are small, simple, and may have interesting physics, [...]
