"Downsizing" by Nicholas Thompson

Votes:0
Respond to this Article October 2000 Downsizing Nanotechnology---Why you should sweat the small stuff By Nicholas Thompson We make most everything by tearing stuff apart. To make paper, we plant trees, chop them down, and send the wood through our mills. To make spoons, we yank iron up out of the earth, drop it into blast furnaces to make steel, and then mold and shape it at extreme temperatures. But what if we could work from the bottom up and construct paper from atoms, the smallest building blocks of life and matter? What if we could make a spoon by taking individual iron atoms and locking them together one by one with carbon atoms and whatever else we wanted? It'd sure be easier and cleaner. We could throw away those miners' helmets, plant geraniums in our blast furnaces, and create al Read More

Introduction

Votes:0
Introduction The fate of the world is determined by our actions and decisions, and many of the most profound decisions and actions are made by the largest of actors: states. The range of possible behaviors for states is partly delineated by the relations among them, as each state must always act in a world of other states. Kingdoms, republics and empires have risen and fallen over the millennia, their fortunes determined at all points by their store of power (1) , and by their ability to use it in the world in which they acted. There are many sources of power, and the relative value of those sources to a nation has fluctuated historically. At one time, a nation's army may have been her most valuable asset. At other times, her store of gold, her population, her navy, her factories and techn Read More

Laboratory for Molecular Robotics The Laboratory for Molecular Robotics (LMR) was founded in 1994 with the primary goal of studying manipulation of molecular-sized components with Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPMs). As we became increasingly proficient at nanomanipulation, our goals were broadened to include most of the emerging area of nanorobotics, which encompasses: Programmable assembly of nanoscale components (i) by manipulation with SPMs (or other robotic devices), (ii) by passive self-assembly on programmed templates, or (iii) by active self-assembly of robotic components. Design and fabrication of nanorobots with overal dimensions at or below the micrometer range and made of nanoscopic components. Programming and coordination of large numbers of such nanorobots.

The Units of Nanotech : 1 millimeter = 1/1000th of a meter : 1 micron = 1/1000th of a millimeter : 1 nanometer = 1/1000th of a micron Developed in 2005 by BioDevices Inc., based in Mountain View, California, this chip was the first commercial use of an organic compound for data storage. "Biological sludge" consisting of a crystalline protein was chemically tailored to bond onto access points on a RAM chip. The sludge accreted in 10,000 additional layers, and each layer stored almost as much data as the original chip. The finished product was able to hold 10 Gbytes. In 2005, a Dutch-US consortium perfected the application of "bumps" of atoms on an ultrasmooth surface to represent bits of data - creating a revolutionary new storage medium .
