09/12/01 - Trends in NanoTechnology (TNT) 2001
The TNT 2001 conference took place September 3-7, 2001 in Segovia, Spain. Some of the more trendy aspects of nanotechnology are: Electronics, Photonics, Nanotubes, Mechanical Devices, Theoretical Models, Self-Assembly, Networks and Funding.

08/01/01 - Molecular Electronics
With our increasing understanding of electron transfers within and between individual molecules, it may only be a matter of time before a lucky researcher discovers the right parameters to cheaply integrate moles of addressable molecular circuits.

07/18/01 - Interdisciplinary Assembly: Nanomachines vs Entropy
While the average nanotech fan might be looking forward to machine-phase titanium-terminated diamondoid nanites, I'm looking forward to the video of failed designs for "assembler arms".

07/04/01 - Interview with Tim Harper
Founder & CEO of CMP Cientifica, Tim helps to guide nanotechnology investments. This interview provides insights regarding Trends in NanoTechnology (TNT), the nature of the nano, revolutionary products and much more.

06/20/01 - Nano Biz Quiz
Now's your chance to get in on the next big (or rather small) business boom. Before jumping on the band wagon, test your nano business skills with this quiz.

06/06/01 - Molybdenum Disulphide Self-Assembly
In a remarkable feat of atomic precision, Remskar et. al. has reported the synthesis of single-wall molybdenum disulfide nanotubes. The tubes self-assemble into regular geometric shapes, organized on scales ranging from the bottom to the milli-scale.

05/23/01 - Alchemy, The Next Generation
Nanotechnology differs from alchemy in that it is based on a more modern material model. However, the goals are basically the same, to transform matter with elemental precision, this time with help from Mendeleyev and Pauling.

05/14/01 - Nanotube Electronic Devices
Energy gaps, symmetry breaking, molecular transistors and constructive deconstruction are a few of the issues involved in nanotube electronics. Recent research has increased our understanding of one-dimensional wires.

05/06/01 - The Periodic Table of Components
This table is a starting point for the organization of nanomaterials. Elements with a dark background have been linked to one or more nanotech applications that makes use of that element. Elements with a light background need your help!

04/22/01 - Electrons: from Microscopy to Lithography
The electron is a most convenient particle (or wave) for microscopy and lithography. Whether they are being focused via e-beams or tunneled through STM tips, without the electron there would be no nanotech.

04/08/01 - DNA Mechanics
Several methods are available for using DNA a nanomechanical control system. The latest research into the mechanical properties movement of DNA is discussed with references, in particular, in vivo implications of supercoiling as an ionic switch.

03/25/01 - Who Wants to be a Nanoengineer?
Ready to test your skills with this nanoquiz? Nanometers are small, but if you collect enough of them you might make it to the milliscale. Good luck!

03/09/01 - The Self-Assembler
The concept of a nanorobotic "assembler" that might be able to move atoms and molecules into place is a far less promising approach to nanotechnology than what I call the "self-assembler."

02/23/01 - Superconductivity in DNA
It insulates, it conducts, it superconducts. This molecule does it all! Experiments have demonstrated that DNA exhibits rare superconducting properties similar to those of carbon nanotubes.

02/18/01 - Stocks & Start-ups: Consilience
Josh Wolfe is a co-founder and Managing Partner of Lux Capital, a venture capital firm investing in emerging and disruptive technologies. In this interview, Josh explains the current industrial instability and the role of nanotechnology.

02/04/01 - Mechanical VLSI
The miniaturization of mechanical devices (MicroElectroMechanical Systems - MEMS) is gaining increasing attention due to numerous commercial applications. Integration of basic MEMS components is bridging the gap between micro- and nanotechnology.

01/21/01 - Molecular Imprinting
"Why does this technology seem to be growing so rapidly in recent times? - The scientific community has finally accepted that a technology that sounded dangerously close to homeopathy really works!!"

01/07/01 - Templating
Biomolecular nanotechnology existing in nature motivates many nanoscientists as it functions as both a proof of principle and a source of ideas. Like self-assembly and quantum coupling, templating is an enabling biomimetic technique.
