Religion and Nanotechnology and ‘Framing Nano’ report
The Swiss think tank ‘The Innovation Society’ has released a report titled “Framing Nano” (pdf) which explores governance and regulation/legislation in nanotechnology.
Some teasers:
France, Germany, Switzerland, The Netherlands, UK and some Scandinavian countries are the most active countries in Europe in addressing the issues related to nanoregulation. The report also describes the various voluntary measures currently [...]
New Course at Vassar: The Societal Implications of Emergent Nanotechnology
New Course at Vassar:
STS 254-1 Â Molecular Coordinates: The Societal Implications of Emergent Nanotechnology
This course is designed to enable you to analyze dynamics and relationships germane to the domestic arenas of emergent nanotechnological research and development from approximately 1980-2006, and, in turn, the enmeshed ethical, societal, legal, martial, political and imaginary implications they suggest. Our course [...]
1st Annual Conference on Nanotechnology Law, Regulation, and Policy
Photo by MarirsIt’s a little pricey, but I’m looking for a sponsor to the 1st Annual Conference on Nanotechnology Law, Regulation and Policy. I think D.C. is a wonderfully grey town with lots of people wearing suits. Anyone want to help me out?
International Festival of Nanoart
Small art, but still not very good
37 nanoartists from 13 countries and 4 continents sent 121 NanoArt works to this second edition of the international competition. Public online voting is now open through March 31, 2008 at www.nanoart21.org. Judging is via the Internet and decided by the site visitors.
This site was founded by the artist [...]

Best of 2007 – And I still don’t know what Moneydick truly means
By a large margin, my article on the emo creature is the most popular this year, with over 50,000 hits. Second place goes to an ancient article titled ‘A scientific Approach to Myspace’s Failure.’
For some reason, most visitors to my site are based in London and Tokyo. I’m sorry if I’ve neglected any American English [...]

Theoretical Model of a Nano bearing
The nano is within me and without you as I embark on my fourth month of research into the Gray Goo Scenario (an apocalyptic vision of nanotech popular from 1986-2001 wherin nanomachines self-replicate to no end, devouring the earth) for my senior thesis. Let’s just say I’ve done a lot [...]

Nano-Hazard Design Contest
I’m writing my thesis on an aspect of the ethics of nanotechnology, so I’ll probably be tempted to post things relating to the topic. Here are the 16 finalists for the Nano-Hazard design contest. The three winners are last. The Winners are….I think the first one is pretty cartoonish, the last could be “Beware the [...]
