Here are links and summaries of the first ten parts of the Feynman path to molecular nanotechnology as conceived and writen by Foresight President J Storrs Hall.
1. Feynman’s proposal to achieve molecular manufacturing.
The idea is to start from the macroscale machining and fabrication and move to the nanoscale without ever losing the general fabrication and manipulation ability.
2. A historical note on the idea : Heinlein’s fictional Waldoes. Waldoes in the story were (a) self... Read Full Story

Honda | industry news | technology | Cars | Car News In the ever-evolving world of automobiles, technological innovations are as important – maybe even more – as putting together a powerful engine. There’s always that thin line between being an innovator and being a follower and if you ask all car manufacturers all over the world, all of them would prefer being the former than the latter. For the past couple of months, Honda... Read Full Story
Researchers in Singapore have successfully fabricated a family of aligned one-dimensional C-curved nanoarches of different compositions by a simple and scalable method for the first time. Article in ACS Nano: A Family of Aligned C-Curved Nanoarches. The nanoarches are actually nanotubes with their extremities firmly attached to the silicon surface, thereby forming a turned letter C.
One-dimensional (1-D) nanomaterials are basic building blocks for the construction of nanoscale devices... Read Full Story
Nano- is a prefix (symbol n) in the SI system of units denoting a factor of 10 raised to −9. It is often used in prefixing time and length units encountered in electronics and computer systems, like 30 nanoseconds (symbol ns) and 100 nanometers (nm). It was confirmed in 1960. Nanotechnology is a multidisciplinary branch of science. This branch of future will give us enormous scope to change the current position of the world. With the advent of the new technologies within the past few years... Read Full Story

Developmental Progress of the Nanoparticle Field Extraction Thruster, July 2008 [16 page pdf]
Recent experiments in microgravity and on the ground have yielded promising results for NanoFET’s development. For the liquid-NanoFET configuration, the NanoBLUE microgravity flight results suggest that the electric field threshold for liquid surface instability is increased for smaller channels. Higher...

A 14 page pdf has been released by Professor Bolonkin Femtotechnology: Nuclear Matter with Fantastic Properties A lot of the paper is discussing what amazing things would be possible if it could be done. The key part is what is trying to be accomplished and the beginnings of how. We are talking about customized atomic nucleus strings and other shapes. The power of what would be possible is huge. But first what most would consider that impossible first step.
The form of matter... Read Full Story
