Hearing
Senate Commerce Committee's Subcommittee on Trade, Tourism, and Economic
Development, May 4, 2006
The hearing will examine economic development efforts that have a strong nanotech focus; investigate how commercialization of nanotechnology would expedite the application of this technology to more products resulting in more high-paying jobs and better quality products in the domestic and global marketplaces; and examine potential economic impacts that nanoscience commercialization will have on business promotion in communities.

How
Nanotechnology Will Work
by Kevin Bonsor
How Stuff Works
In the next 50 years, machines will get increasingly smaller -- so small that thousands of these tiny machines would fit into the period at the end of this sentence. Within a few decades, we will use these nanomachines to manufacture consumer goods at the molecular level, piecing together one atom or molecule at a time to make baseballs, telephones and cars.

Looms Large for Meds

Scientists are still living down all those Fantastic Voyage fantasies when it comes to medical uses of nanotechnology. Their many accomplishments just aren't made for the big screen, that's all.

breakthrough charges science world

IBM
researchers have created transistors out of carbon nanotubes that can outperform
similar silicon transistors, a development that helps build the case that carbon
may one day become a building block of computing.
In an article to be published on Monday in the journal Applied Physics Letters, IBM
researchers outline how transistors made of carbon nanotubes--long, thin strands
of carbon molecules--delivered more than twice the amount of electrical current
at a faster rate than cutting-edge transistors made from silicon and metal, the
basis for chips today.
Increased current leads, potentially, to faster transistors and integrated
circuits. And since transistors and integrated circuits are the building blocks
of chips, the results imply that carbon could someday become the foundation for
tomorrow's computers.
Army selects MIT for $50 million institute to use nanomaterials to clothe, equip soldiers
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- The United States Army has selected MIT to create lightweight molecular materials to equip foot soldiers of the future with uniforms and gear that can heal them, shield them and protect them against chemical and biological warfare.
Nano Killers
Aim at Mini Tumors
by Kristen Philipkoski
Wired News, June 22, 2004
A company called Kereos is developing a pair of
nanotechnologies to identify tumors that measure just 1 mm in diameter, then
kill them with a tiny but precise amount of a chemotherapy drug.
The technologies, if approved by the Food and Drug Administration, would not
only find cancers in their earliest stages before they can do damage or spread,
but also deliver a small amount of a drug targeted directly at tumors, which
would cause little or no side effects.

Is small the
next big thing?
by Tiffany Kary
CNET News.com, February 11, 2002
Nanotechnology was once the stuff of science-fiction
fantasy: Tiny robots tinkering on a microscopic scale, killing cancers or
eradicating pollution.
Today, spurred by research and investment, the science of building almost
unfathomably small things is maturing with the help of a growing number of
devotees in the technology industry and on Wall Street.
Technology leaders such as IBM, Intel and Hewlett-Packard--as well as start-ups
and the U.S. government--are spending big bucks to make the science of
nanotechnology commercially viable. They're building a world in which the
technology will be used for memory chips, mini-computers, cancer treatments and
even military applications.
Telecom
companies put tiny tech on hold
by Tiffany Kary
CNET News.com, May 27, 2002
The buildup of huge stockpiles, a sectorwide cash crunch and
the carriers' interest in protecting their current networks are all creating a
poisonous atmosphere for start-ups certain that new communications components
created through nanotechnology could transform the ailing communications sector.
"Micro and nanoscale technology have huge potential to impact the industry,
but they haven't had that impact yet because of the vested interests of
incumbent players."
