A joint venture between the National Research Council and the University of Alberta, and funded in part by the Government of Canada, Alberta, and the university, "The National Institute for Nanotechnology is an integrated, multi-disciplinary institution involving researchers in physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, informatics, pharmacy and medicine." At the site, visitors can find all sorts of interesting information about the nano world. Of particular interest is the Our Research link, which leads to all sorts of information about the various research projects at the institute, such as: Supramolecular Nanoscale Assembly, Materials and Interfacial Chemistry, Molecular Scale Devices, and more. Visitors to the site can view publications and learn about the researchers involved in the many projects as well as learn about the institute's facilities and visit the Newsroom link for several press releases.[From The NSDL Scout Report for the Physical Sciences, Copyright Internet Scout Project 1994-2003. http://scout.wisc.edu/]

Nanotechnology Precaution Is Urged

Nanotechnology Precaution Is Urged 07/29/2004 11:58 PM
The invisibly small particles and fibers that scientists are producing in the hot new field of nanotechnology pose health and environmental risks great enough to justify banning, for now, certain cosmetics now found on the U.S. market and also halting the deliberate release of nanomaterials into the environment, according to an independent report commissioned by the British government.

Most products of nanotechnology, including atom-scale electronic components and super-strong materials, will probably prove harmless, the report concludes, offering a modicum of reassurance for the nascent research field that has been buffeted by science-fiction scenarios of techno-doom. But the joint report by Britain's Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering also strongly warns that the manufactured specks at the heart of nanotechnology -- tens of thousands of which can fit on the tip of a needle -- behave in unpredictable ways and in some cases appear surprisingly toxic.

Our friends at the Foresight Institute are sponsoring the first-ever conference to focus solely on bottom-up nanotechnology, as envisioned by Richard Feynman in 1959.

"This new meeting series will examine all aspects of advanced nanotechnology, also termed molecular manufacturing or MNT: research status, prospects for disruptive applications, and policy issues — including maximizing access for those who would not otherwise benefit."

On the third day of the event, bloggers Howard "NanoBot" Lovy and Glenn "Instapundit" Reynolds are co-chairing a panel on Advanced Nanotechnology Policy. Link

Apollo Fris (~640 words)

While fur is typically associated with staying warm, the stylish new material covering Apple's planned Power Mac GX will improve on the cooling technology used in the current generation of the Power Mac G5. The Power Mac GX machines are rumored to be whisper quiet, and, while it's unclear if there is simply no need for a fan or if the fur has sound-dampening properties beyond its cooling properties, the quiet operation is expected to be well-received by sound- and video-processing users. Evidently, Apple's high level of R&D investment paid off with a bit of bio-inspired nanotechnology (patent-pending, of course). The fur coating - which Apple will undoubtedly label with a clever marketing name (Apple engineers are rumored to call it "iFuzz" internally) - actually pumps heat away from the processor and case interior with hundreds of microfluidic tubules into each individual "hair." The fluid cooling is similar to that used in the current dual 2.5 GHz Power Mac G5 models, albeit orders of magnitude more sophisticated.
