Uncle Charlie explains the potential future of lifelogging to Joe Average BBC reader.Spinplasmonics
Spinplasmonics is a nanotechnology combining spintronics and plasmonics.What Will the First Nanotechnology Products Be?
"Anything using amorphous carbon, graphite, diamond, carbon aerogel, glassy carbon, or carbon fiber is fair game. For simplicity and to avoid arguments, I do not assume the availability of carbonNew nano-glue likes it hot
"The nano-glue bonds surfaces tightly together despite being [...] about 1000 times thinner than adhesives currently in everyday use. Crucially, the glue also gets stronger as surrounding temperaMolecular Manufacturing: Too Dangerous to Allow?
"According to this argument, any research into molecular manufacturing (MM) should be blocked because this technology might be used to build systems that could cause extraordinary damage."Viruses detected in 60 seconds
"Using nanotechnology, a team of University of Georgia researchers has developed a diagnostic test that can detect viruses as diverse as influenza, HIV and RSV in 60 seconds or less."Carbon nanotube forests could branch out into nanomanipulation
"One of the key challenges for scientists trying to manipulate matter at the nanoscale is overcoming the static friction - stiction - and adhesion forces that effectively "glue" small oComposites World
emerging structural applications for advanced compositesPhysicists invent 'QuIET' - single molecule transistors
"University of Arizona physicists have discovered how to turn single molecules into working transistors. It's a breakthrough needed to make the next-generation of remarkably tiny, powerful computIBM researchers investigate molecules for the future of information processing
The boys at Big Blue are hard at work trying to make even smaller and more efficient electronic circuits - by using single molecules as logic components.Personal Nanofactories (PNs)
Just how exactly will a home fabricator nanofactory work? The CRN boys have the lowdown. Link via AdvancedNanotechnologyA stronger surfboard resin to illustrate the benefits of nanotechnology
Duuuude, like, how totally sweet is that? Nanotech is radical. Link via NanoBot.Revolution in a Box - The Center for Responsible Nanotechnology
Relax - these guys are here to make sure we don't do a Drexler and turn the entire ecosphere into gray goo.Matrioshka Brain Home Page
What's a Matrioshka Brain? It's like a Dyson Sphere, just less anthropocentric; an idea that has been mined by a fair few SF authors, and will no doubt obsess me for weeks to follow. w00t!Virtual Nano-Lego!
Software for designing and modelling your own theoretical nanotech machines! Nice little demos to look at; imagine a differential gear system made at an atomic scale. Degrees in atomic physics helpfulMolecular Manufacturing: A Primer for the Real Diamond Age
