Extractions: Technology By Max Robinson, MBA1 Recently, the MIT/Stanford Venture Laboratory (VLAB) held a nanotechnology panel discussion here at the GSB, which was moderated by Steve Jurvetson, GSB alumni, managing director of the venture capital firm Draper Fisher Jurvetson. The panel included three Ph.D.'s and one CEO who discussed where they think this nascent industry is heading, and where the near-term and long-term benefits will be. Nanotechnology refers to molecular level processes in which, atom by atom, large structures are created with fundamentally new molecular organization. Nanotech has applications across many different industries, including biology and biotechnology, computer science and electronics, and materials science. But since it is such a broadly defined science, it is hard to predict where the greatest strides will come over the next few decades. In the VLAB panel discussion, though, there was some consensus on where these experts saw the greatest potential for businesses based on nanotechnology applications. The most viable near-term business applications for nanotechnology will probably be in the area of sensors. By constructing various devices at the molecular scale, it is possible to make sensors that would be highly sensitive as well as highly selective and responsive. The Department of Defense is especially interested in such technology for its potential battlefield applications, where minute amounts of chemical or biological agents could be detected quickly and accurately, giving soldiers a better chance to defend against such attacks.

Nanotechnology, Cellmatrix.com If nanotechnology and computer architecture sound like unfamiliar jargon toyou, we have created a metaphorical explanation that you can read before, or http://www.cellmatrix.com/entryway/products/concepts/nanotech.html
Extractions: Nanotechnology is nanometer-scale technology, or technology that is one or more orders of magnitude smaller than what is used today. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a millionth of a millimeter, ten Angstroms, or the combined diameter of about ten carbon atoms. Nanoelectronics is the development of electronic devices within which the smallest features are between 1 and 10 nanometers wide. Nanotechnology research is currently focused on the construction of useful objects such as computer memory out of particular molecules, or arrangements of carbon atoms, or quantum dots, while semiconductor technology is miniaturizing from microns down to hundreds of nanometers, and perhaps ultimately to 10 nanometers. This ability through molecular engineering, quantum dots, processes evolved from CMOS, etc is still under development, and a picture of the manufacturing techniques that will be used at the 1 to 10 nanometer scale is not yet fully formable. However, from progress to date, a number of independent researchers have begun to describe what is attainable from nanoelectronics and desirable from a computer architecture standpoint. These descriptions read like a description of the Cell Matrix architecture: a regular, homogeneous, three dimensional or two dimensional array of simple reconfigurable elements with local-only interconnections, fault tolerance, dynamic fault handling, and better than linear configuration times.

Extractions: Jim Tour isn't the CEO of some razor-sharp Silicon Valley computer company, but he knows how to talk like one. The Rice University professor and co-founder of Molecular Electronics Corp. doesn't hold back when predicting how the technology he and his colleagues are developing will change the face of computing. "I want to see us run up the tail of every chip maker around," Tour says. "This will change the landscape for some huge, global industries." That statement is tantamount to throwing down the gauntlet before the Intel's and IBM's of the world, but Tour thinks he can back up the challenge. Molecular Electronics' work developing atom-size computer components is among the most advanced in the country and may produce working prototypes in the next 12 to 18 months.

Extractions: How small? When you're dealing in molecules, putting the power of a desktop or a wireless communicator inside wristwatches or belt buckles or necklaces is a trivial pursuit. Putting such technology within a wedding ring, a shirt button, or a lapel pin is well within possibility. Eventually, the computer, not cotton, may become the fabric of our lives, as computers that are as cheap as they are invisible are woven into our clothing. Nanotech Implants Ultimately, nanotech devices may find a home within us. How you would interact with a computer once it gets under your skin is an issue that has yet to be dealt with. Just consider all of those folks walking around with multiple body piercings to be test subjects for the coming nanotech era. Of course, there are a few challenges to be met before the kids start coming home with Web rings looped through their eyebrows. Scientists must prove that nanocomputers and nanophones are not only possible but also reliable and buildable. Few are betting against the nano nerds at this point, but whether their seedlings blossom within the next few years or the next few decades is anybody's guess. Next, designers and manufacturers must make nanotech practical and usable on a large scale. To a large degree, our collective judgment of the practicality of nano devices will be based upon how we interact with and control the devices. Clearly, keypads and keyboards aren't going to hack it in the nano era. By happy coincidence, speech- and handwriting-recognition technologies are busily coming of age and may be fully ready by the time our nano communicators and computers are. You'll be able to chat with anyone anywhere, without an apparent phone (talk into your ring for semiprivate conversations, at least until the vocal chord sensors are perfected). You'll be able to take notes and dash off email without an apparent organizer (your messaging pen can usually make sense of your chicken scratch, even if you are just air-writing on the conference room table).

A new three-year National Science Foundation grant will enable UNC-CH researchers to, beginning in February, introduce nanotechnology and UNC-CH researchers who work within this rapidly emerging scientific field to students in two local schools. In the third year, this outreach effort will expand to include hundreds of students throughout North Carolina and Iowa. The $767,275 grant will allow UNC-CH researchers to study the effectiveness of nanotechnology, or the exploration and manipulation of objects at the atomic and molecular levels, in helping students acquire and gain interest in scientific knowledge. Key to these efforts will be the nanoManipulator, a microcomputer system created by UNC-CH physicists and computer scientists that uses virtual reality technology to provide a visual, three-dimensional image of the sample being examined. By using a joystick, students will have the opportunity to manipulate, and even "feel," the three-dimensional image of a virus on the computer screen an image projected through the Internet connection from an atomic force microscope located on the UNC-CH campus.

Nanotechnology at a turning point in nanotechnology research, and people are just starting to getmoving, says James Cooper, professor of electrical and computer engineering http://www.purdue.edu/PER/W01Perspective.nano.html
Extractions: Rashid Bashir, assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering and biomedical engineering, was among a group of Purdue scientists who created the first protein biochip. The chip mates a silicon computer chip with biological proteins. Ten hydrogen atoms. Lined up side by side, they take up a nanometer, or one- billionth of a meter - a size so small you could fit a million nanometers across the head of a pin. It's on a scale far too small to see. Yet working in the nanometer realm gives experts worldwide visions of unlimited technological wonders. At Purdue, researchers are focusing on several nanowonders: smaller, faster, more efficient computers; stronger materials; and new types of biomedical devices. Nanotechnology differs from conventional manufacturing in its ability to control the arrangement of individual atoms. With nanotechnology, it's possible to build small devices from the bottom up, atom by atom, and finely tune their features. "We are now trying to understand how current flows from atom to atom so that we can design useful electronic devices on a molecular scale," says Supriyo Datta, the Thomas Duncan Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue.

Extractions: December 2002 Nanotechnology The future is now ... by Cyril Fievet The word "Nanotechnology" comes from "Nano", which means "a thousand millionth" (10 -9). For instance, a "nanometer" stands for a millionth of one millimeter (or 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair). At this scale, things appear to be very close to molecules. And this is precisely what nanotechnology is all about. This word is used to refer to "the ability to work at the molecular level, atom by atom, to create large structures with fundamentally new molecular organization Take a close look at this definition. We are not speaking about blending colored mixtures together in test tubes, or creating collisions between electrons running at light speed in huge particle accelerators. Forget these old fashioned techniques. We are now dealing "directly" with atoms and molecules. I mean taking them, moving them, combining them, machining them, in order to create, well, some other stuff. At its very first steps, nanotechnology benefited from the creation of a new kind of machines, such as the Scanning Tunneling Microscope. This STM allows us to move atoms one by one and to observe their behavior. The results are often odd, colorful and beautiful "drawings". But nanotechnology is not only restricted to miniaturists-draftmen. Far from that. What's strange with nanotechnology is that the word is inseparable from science fiction. For most people, nanotechnology "will" allow everything, "will" change everything, one day...

Extractions: Molecular Modeling Connections have been growing recently between the molecular modeling community and the computational geometry. Many questions in molecular modeling can be understood geometrically in terms of arrangements of spheres in three dimensions. Problems include computing properties of such arrangements such as their volume and topology, testing intersections and collisions between molecules, finding offset surfaces (related to questions of accessability of molecule subregions to solvents such as water), data structures for computing interatomic forces and performing molecular dynamics simulations, and computer graphics algorithms for rendering molecular models accurately and efficiently (taking advantage of their special geometric structure). Classical molecular modeling has dealt with biological molecules which generally have a tree-like structure, but applications to nanotechnology require dealing with more complicated diamond-like structures; it is unclear to what extent this affects the relevant algorithms. Algorithms for finding the axis of a helix , J. Christopher, R. Swanson, and T. Baldwin. The authors use this problem to detect structural patterns in protein molecules.
