ConocoPhillips, University of Kansas launch nanotech program

ConocoPhillips Co. and the University of Kansas have launched a joint three-year nanotechnology research program to develop new oilfield technologies. The Houston-based energy giant (NYSE: COP) will contribute $400,000 a year to the program. Nanotechnology — essentially engineering on the molecular level — has grown from an oil industry buzzword to a major breakthrough in enhanced oil recovery. The energy industry hopes nanosensors can better find pockets of unrecovered oil in depleted reservoirs, and nanoparticles may lead to more efficient recovery. The University of Kansas recently established a strong nanotechnology research program, but has been involved in enhanced oil recovery since the 1970s. University researchers will develop and test polymers using nanotechnology, then hand them over to ConocoPhillips for field testing. “KU’s extensive experience in enhanced oil recovery and nanotechnology provides an ideal foundation for our collaborative research focused on developing promising new oilfield applications,” said Stephen Brand, senior vice president of technology at ConocoPhillips.

Leeds University announces nanotechnology partnership

This new collaboration will develop joint PhD projects, funded research and enterprise activities in medicine and health, biology, chemical manufacturing, electronics and other sectors. The programme is administered through the University of Leeds NanoManufacturing Institute and will provide new funding for PhD research and collaborative exchanges. Professor Richard Williams, Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Enterprise, Knowledge Transfer and International Strategy at the University of Leeds said: "This continues a series of educational agreements with KSU and we are delighted this is our first major research and enterprise project in an area that draws on a distinctive research strength for Leeds in an area that has major societal impact.

Tasmanians To Get An Insight Into Nanotechnology

Three highly experienced researchers and industry representatives tonight will provide their insight to Tasmanian innovators and investors at the i-cubed Nanotechnology – An Insight seminar hosted by the Department of Economic Development and Tourism. The Nanotechnology – An Insight seminar will provide a background on what nanotechnology is, and the potential benefits and applications this technology can offer. It also will give a snapshot of what is occurring locally and nationally in this area. The Minister for Economic Development, Michael Aird, said that nanotechnology has the potential to create many new materials and devices with wide-ranging applications. “Nanotechnology generally deals with structures that are so small they cannot be detected with the naked eye, and can be used in a number of areas such as medicine, electronics and energy production,” Mr Aird said. “When particles are reduced to nano size they can be worked with to form many exciting new materials, such as extra strong plastics, UV and abrasion-resistant coatings and highly effective transparent sunscreens. “At Tasmania’s Australian Centre for Research on Separation Science (ACROSS), research is being conducted on miniaturised analytical systems to be used in biotechnology, clinical diagnostics, counter terrorism and environmental monitoring. “The State Government is excited about the many applications of nanotechnology and is committed to supporting Tasmanian scientists and industries that use this novel approach.”

US Army Embraces Nanotechnology

Few of late have not heard about nanotechnology and the advances that have been made with this wondrous technology. Self-repairing paint, possible future surgeries that are invasive, advances plastics and medical technology, and even future ideas for computers are among the few that have been heard about this year alone. However, there are other uses for nanoids including the use of protective equipment and storage materials. This last subject has been the debate of the moment for the next U.S. Army Corrosion Summit. It is hoped that nanotechnology may be applied to corrosive materials and helped to retain them by creating anti-corrosion technology through the use of nanotechnology. As more studies are done on this new science, it is also speculated that further uses including food and water storage for soldiers, and stronger protective shield for mobile units. In addition, there is also the possibility of more affordable and stronger personal armor for soldiers to use on the front line. As this new science is explored, more advances are expected be discovered as time passes, which will hopefully turn into the ability to protect U.S. Army soldiers and supplies while in the field.

CCAS, SEAS launch Institute for Nanotechnology

A recently launched Institute for Nanotechnology at GW will investigate a developing science that studies objects 1/100,000th the size of a strand of hair.In a partnership between the Columbian College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Institute for Nanotechnology will research atoms at the nano level and ultimately help create new goods and materials. The University has committed $200,000 to the institute for its first year.

¿Qué es la Nanotecnología? (Spanish)

Benj — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 19:14:33 +0000

¿Qué es la Nanotecnología? Presentación de Nanovip.com Se autoriza la reproducción de esta presentación con la condición de que aparezca un enlace a la fuente del documento: http://www.nanovip.com . Introducción El objetivo de este documento es explicar qué es exactamente la Nanotecnología y presentar de manera concisa los conceptos fundamentales de esta materia para que las personas que desconozcan este campo tengan una idea general de las perspectivas y las cuestiones que estarán presentes por sí mismas en los próximos años. Hemos de advertir al lector que incluso la definición de "Nanotecnología" es polémica y es posible que alguien quiera calificar nuestra definición. Por esta razón, hemos basado nuestra definición en los conceptos que sostienen los profesionales del campo en la actualidad. Definición Nanotecnología: es el desarrollo y la aplicación práctica de estructuras y sistemas en una escala nanométrica (entre 1 y 100 nanómetros). No hay que confundirla con el término "Nanociencia", que no implica una aplicación práctica pero sí el estudio científico de las propiedades del mundo nanométrico. "Nano" es un prefijo griego que significa "mil millones" (una mil millonésima parte de un metro es la unidad de medida que se usa en el ámbito de la Nanotecnología). Un átomo es más pequeño que un nanómetro, pero una molécula puede ser mayor. Una dimensión de 100 nanómetros es importante la Nanotecnología porque bajo este límite se pueden observar nuevas propiedades en la materia, principalmente debido a las leyes de la Física Cuántica. Hay dos tipos de Nanotecnología A) Top-down: Reducción de tamaño. Literalmente desde arriba (mayor) hasta abajo (menor). Los mecanismos y las estructuras se miniaturizan a escala nanométrica. Este tipo de Nanotecnología ha sido el más frecuente hasta la fecha, más concretamente en el ámbito de la electrónica donde predomina la miniaturización. B) Bottom-Up: Auto ensamblado. Literalmente desde abajo (menor) hasta arriba (mayor). Se comienza con una estructura nanométrica como una molécula y mediante un proceso de montaje o auto ensamblado, se crea un mecanismo mayor que el mecanismo con el que comenzamos. Este enfoque, que algunos consideran como el único y "verdadero" enfoque nanotecnológico, ha de permitir que la materia pueda controlarse de manera extremadamente precisa. De esta manera podremos liberarnos de las limitaciones de la miniaturización, muy presentes en el campo de la electrónica. El último paso para la Nanotecnología de auto montaje de dentro hacia fuera se denomina "Nanotecnología molecular" o "fabricación molecular", y ha sido desarrollada por el investigador K. Eric Drexler. Se prevé que las fábricas moleculares reales sean capaces de crear cualquier material mediante procesos de montaje exponencial de átomos y moléculas, controlados con precisión. Cuando alguien se da cuenta de que la totalidad de nuestro entorno perceptivo está construida mediante un limitado alfabeto de diferentes constituyentes (átomos) y que este alfabeto da lugar a creaciones tan diversas como el agua, los diamantes o los huesos, es fácil imaginar el potencial casi ilimitado que ofrece el montaje molecular. Algunos partidarios de una visión más conservadora de la Nanotecnología ponen en duda la viabilidad de la fabricación molecular y de este modo tienen una visión contradictoria a largo plazo con respecto a la teoría de Eric Drexler, el defensor más conocido de la teoría de la fabricación molecular. Es importante tener en cuenta de alguna manera esta nota discordante, porque la mayoría de los investigadores involucrados piensan que la madurez de la Nanotecnología es una evolución positiva y que la Nanotecnología mejorará de manera significativa la calidad de la vida en el planeta (y en el espacio) de la población mundial. Perspectivas Hay que saber algo fundamental acerca de la Nanotecnología: la materia se manipula hasta llegar hasta su elemento más básico, el átomo. La Nanotecnología es un avance lógico, inevitable en el transcurso del progreso humano. Más que un mero progreso en el limitado campo de la tecnología, representa el proceso de nacimiento de una nueva "era" en la que usamos todas las posibilidades de la Nanotecnología. Son múltiples las áreas en las que la Nanotecnología tiene aplicaciones potenciales: desde potentes filtros solares que bloquean los rayos ultravioleta hasta nanorobots diseñados para realizar reparaciones celulares. A continuación se enumera una lista con algunos ejemplos de los principales campos que se verán afectados por los avances de la Nanotecnología: Materiales: nuevos materiales, más duros, más duraderos y resistentes, más ligeros y más baratos. Electrónica: los componentes electrónicos serán cada vez más y más pequeños, lo que facilitará el diseño de ordenadores mucho más potentes. Energía: se prevé un gran aumento de las posibilidades de generación de energía solar, por ejemplo. Salud y Nanobiotecnología: hay grandes expectativas en las áreas de prevención, diagnóstico y tratamiento de enfermedades. Por ejemplo, podrán colocarse sondas nanoscópicas en un lugar para medir nuestro estado de salud las veinticuatro horas del día, se desarrollarán nuevas herramientas para luchar contra las enfermedades hereditarias mediante el análisis genético y se podrán crear indicadores que detecten y destruyan, una a una, células cancerígenas. Estas son algunas de las posibles aplicaciones. Los avances en estos campos tendrán repercusión en una amplia gama de industrias como la industria de los cosméticos, la industria farmacéutica, la industria de los electrodomésticos, la industria higiénica, el sector de la construcción, el sector de las comunicaciones, la industria de seguridad y defensa y la industria de la exploración espacial. Nuestro entorno también se beneficiará, en tanto que la producción de energía será más económica y limpia y se utilizarán materiales más ecológicos. En breve, muchas áreas de nuestra vida diaria se verán afectadas de una manera u otra por el avance de la Nanotecnología. La Nanotecnología nos permitirá hacerlo todo mejor y con menos esfuerzo. Agenda En la actualidad, al comienzo del tercer milenio, los productos nanotecnológicos ya están disponibles en el mercado. Así, es posible comprar raquetas de tenis más ligeras y más resistentes compuestas de nanotubos de carbón o cosméticos que contienen nanopartículas que facilitan la absorción. Pero aún estamos lejos de la época de la Nanotecnología, cuando ésta tenga efecto en nuestra vida diaria. ¿Cuándo se producirá esa revolución? ¿Cuándo nos beneficiaremos de manera substancial de los avances en la investigación y en el desarrollo de la Nanotecnología? Los cálculos varían. Se calcula que a partir del 2010 y hasta el 2040 se producirá un desarrollo progresivo del enfoque de “bottom-up” hasta que culmine en la fabricación molecular, de manera que podamos comprobar si esta teoría se puede poner en práctica sin grandes obstáculos. Intereses, responsabilidades Los intereses involucrados en el desarrollo de Nanotecnología son continentales: América, Europa y Asia están preparando campañas de desarrollo en curso que no se concluirán a corto plazo. Se están realizando grandes inversiones para desarrollar la Nanotecnología en todo el mundo. Si por razones éticas extremistas o a causa de la prudencia antiapocalíptica, se intenta ahogar el avance de esta gran revolución post-industrial que actualmente se está desarrollando, sería un grave error estratégico porque ahora más que nunca la competencia mundial seguirá creciendo y los nuevos súper poderes de la Nanotecnología van a aparecer, sobre todo en Asia. Por ello, si hay que incentivar el desarrollo de la Nanotecnología, los esfuerzos han de realizarse en la dirección adecuada: han de establecerse garantías, porque al igual que con todos los grandes avances tecnológicos, las nuevas posibilidades contienen incógnitas y riesgos que debemos conocer, como una nueva carrera armamentística, basada en armas más pequeñas y más mortíferas.

What is nanotechnology ?

Benj — Wed, 11 Oct 2006 17:27:01 +0000

What is Nanotechnology? Presentation by Nanovip.com Reproduction of this presentation is authorized on the condition that a link is provided to the source: http://www.nanovip.com . Introduction The goal for this page is to explain what Nanotechnologies are and to present in a succinct manner the essential principal notions on the subject, so that newcomers to the field are given an overview of the perspectives and issues which will undoubtedly present themselves in the years to come. We should warn the reader that even the definition of “Nanotechnology” is controversial, and that some may wish to qualify our definition. For that reason, we have based our definition on the notions currently held by the professionals in the field. Definition Nanotechnology: The development and practical applications of structures and devices on a nanometer scale (between 1 and 100 nanometers). -This is not to be confused with the term "Nanoscience", which does not describe a practical application but rather the scientific study of the properties of the nanometric world. -"Nano" is a Greek prefix which signifies a "billionth" (one billionth of a meter is the unit of measure in the field of nanotechnology). An atom is smaller than a nanometer, but a molecule can be larger than this measure. -A dimension of 100 nanometers is important in nanotechnology, because under this limit one observes new properties of matter, primarily due to the laws of quantum physics. 2 types of Nanotechnologies A) Top-Down: From top (larger) to bottom (smaller). Mechanisms and structures are miniaturized to a nanometric scale. This has been the most frequent application of nanotechnology up to this point, in particular in the domain of electronics where miniaturization is preponderant. B) Bottom-Up: From bottom (smaller) to top (larger). We begin with a nanometric structure such as a molecule, and through a process of assembly or self-assembly we create a mechanism larger than that with which we began. This approach, considered by some to be the one and only "true" nanotechnology, should allow an extremely precise control of matter. It is in this way that we will be able to free ourselves from the limits of miniaturization, notably in the domain of electronics. The ultimate step for Bottom-Up Nanotechnology is called "molecular nanotechnology", or "molecular manufacturing", which has been brought to the forefront by the researcher K. Eric Drexler. True molecular factories are envisioned, capable of creating any material through a process of precisely controlled exponential assembly of atoms and molecules. When one realizes that the totality of our perceptible environment is constructed of a limited alphabet of different constituents (atoms), which give rise to creations as diverse as water, diamond, or bone, it is easy to imagine the nearly limitless potential which molecular assembly offers. Some partisans of a more conservative vision of Nanotechnology contest the feasibility of molecular manufacturing, and thus hold a conflicting long-term view to that of Eric Drexler, the foremost proponent of molecular manufacturing theory. It is important to keep this dissention in perspective however, because most of the researchers involved feel that the maturity of Nanotechnology is a positive development, and that Nanotechnologies will significantly improve the quality of life on Earth (and in space) for the world’s population. Perspectives There is something ultimate about Nanotechnology: matter is manipulated at its most elementary level, the atom. Nanotechnologies are a logical step, unavoidable in the course of human progress. More than just progress in a narrow realm of technology, this represents the birth process of a new "age" as we harness Nanotechnology’s potential. The areas of potential applications are multiple; from powerful UV-blocking sunscreens to nano-robots designed to repair at the cellular level. Below is presented a non-exhaustive list of the principal domains which will be affected by developments in Nanotechnology: -Materials: new materials, harder, more durable and resistant, lighter and less expensive. -Electronics: electronic components will become smaller and smaller, allowing the design of more powerful computers. -Energy: a vast increase in the potential of solar energy generation is envisioned, for example. -Health and nanobiotechnologies: great expectations are held in the areas of prevention, diagnostics, and treatment. For example, nanoscopic probes could be put in place to measure our state of health around the clock, new tools could be developed to fight genetic disease at the level of the gene, and markers could be created to detect and, one by one, destroy cancerous cells, just to name a few of the many possibilities. Developments in these domains would impact a broad range of industries, such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, consumer appliances, hygienics, construction, communication, security and safety, and space exploration. Our environment will benefit as well, in terms of clean, economical energy production, and the use of more environmentally friendly materials. If brief, many areas of our daily lives will be affected in one way or another by the development of Nanotechnologies, because Nanotechnologies will permit us to do better, with less. Timetable As of today, at the dawn of the Third Millennium, nanotechnological products are already on the market. Thus, one can purchase lighter and stronger tennis rackets composed of carbon nanotubes, or even cosmetics containing nanoparticles which allow better penetration of the skin. But we are still far from the nanotechnology era which will impact our daily lives. When will that revolution take place? When will we benefit substantially from progress in Nanotechnology research and development? The estimates vary. The predicted range is from the years 2010 to 2040, with the progressive development of the Bottom-Up approach to its end-point of molecular manufacturing, so that we can test if this theory can be put to practical use without any major obstacles. Stakes, responsibilities The stakes involved in the development of Nanotechnologies are continental: America, Europe, and Asia are actively preparing for ongoing development efforts which won’t be stopping anytime soon. Massive investments are being made for the purpose of developing Nanotechnologies all over the world. To try to suffocate the development of this great post-industrial revolution currently taking shape for extremist ethical reasons, or for anti-apocalyptic prudence, would be a grave error in strategy, because more than ever world competition will continue to develop, and new Nanotechnology super-powers may appear, notably in Asia. So, if the development of Nanotechnologies is to be encouraged, the effort must be made in the right direction: safeguards must be put in place, because as with all great technological advances, new potentialities contain unknowns and risks about which we must be concerned, such as a new arms race based on smaller, deadlier weapons.

Qu'est-ce que la nanotechnologie ? (French)

Qu’est-ce que la Nanotechnologie ? Présentation par Nanovip.com Reproduction autorisée, à condition de citer et faire un lien vers la source : http://www.nanovip.com . Introduction Cette page a pour but d’expliquer ce que sont les Nanotechnologies et de présenter succinctement les principales notions essentielles du sujet, afin que le lecteur novice puisse se faire une idée des perspectives et enjeux qui ne manqueront pas de se présenter au cours des prochaines années. Nous tenons à avertir le lecteur que la définition même de " Nanotechnologie " est controversée, et que certains seront tentés de nuancer notre définition. Nous avons cependant établi notre définition sur les notions communément admises par les professionnels du milieu. Définition Nanotechnologie : Le développement, l’exploitation pratique de structures et de dispositifs à l’échelle nanométrique (entre 1 et 100 nanomètres). -A ne pas confondre avec le mot " Nanoscience ", qui ne désigne pas une application pratique mais l’étude scientifique des propriétés du monde nanométrique. -" Nano " est un préfixe grec qui signifie un " milliardième " (de mètre dans les cas des nanotechnologies). Un atome est plus petit qu’un nanomètre, alors qu’une molécule peut dépasser cette mesure. -La dimension de 100 nanomètres est importante en Nanotechnologie, car sous cette limite, on peut observer de nouveaux comportements de la matière, notamment à cause des lois de la physique quantique. 2 types de Nanotechnologies A) Top-down : De haut en bas. On va miniaturiser des dispositifs, des structures jusqu'à l’échelle nanométrique. C’est plutôt de cette façon que les technologies se sont débrouillées jusqu'à aujourd’hui, en particulier dans le domaine de l’électronique où la miniaturisation est prépondérante. B) Bottom-up : De bas en Haut. On va partir d’une structure nanométrique comme une molécule, pour obtenir le dispositif voulu, plus grand que la structure initiale, par assemblage ou auto-assemblage. Cette approche, considérée par certains comme la " seule et vraie " nanotechnologie, devrait permettre un contrôle extrêmement précis de la matière. C’est de cette façon que l’on va s’affranchir des limitations de la miniaturisation, notamment dans le domaine de l’électronique. L’étape ultime de la Nanotechnologie Bottom-Up est appelée la " nanotechnologie moléculaire ", ou " fabrication moléculaire " et a été mis en perspective par le chercheur K. Eric Drexler. Elle théorise de véritables usines moléculaires, capables de créer n’importe quel matériau par assemblage précis, contrôlé et exponentiel d’atomes et de molécules. Quand on réalise que la totalité de notre environnement perceptible est constitué comme un alphabet, par un nombre limité de constituants différents (atomes), qui selon leur agencement, peuvent donner des créations aussi divers, que l’eau, le diamant, ou l’os, on entrevoie aisément le potentiel quasi-illimité offert par la fabrication moléculaire. Des partisans de la vision plus conservative des Nanotechnologies contestent la faisabilité de la fabrication moléculaire, et se heurtent ainsi à la vision à long terme d’Eric Drexler, le pilier de la théorie sur la fabrication moléculaire. On peut qualifier cette dissension de Nano schisme, même si la majorité des chercheurs s’accorde à dire qu’à maturité d’un développement positif, les nanotechnologies devraient améliorer très significativement les conditions de vie sur terre (et dans l’espace) pour l’ensemble de la population. Perspectives Il y a quelque chose d’ultime dans les nanotechnologies : la matière est manipulée à son niveau le plus élémentaire : l’atome. Les nanotechnologies sont une étape logique, inéluctable du progrès humain. Plus qu’un progrès technologique circonscrit, c’est un nouvel " age " qui est en train de naître avec la maîtrise nanotechnologique. Les domaines d’applications seront multiples ; de la crème solaire aux nano robots réparateurs de cellules. Voici une liste non exhaustive des principaux domaines qui seront affectés par les nanotechnologies : -Les matériaux : de nouveaux matériaux, plus durs, plus résistants, plus légers et moins coûteux. -L’électronique : des composants électroniques toujours plus petits, permettant des calculateurs toujours plus puissants. -Les énergies : avec par exemple un décuplement du potentiel des énergies solaires. -La Santé et les nanobiotechnologies: tant du point de vue de la prévention, du diagnostique et du traitement. Par exemple, des sondes nanoscopiques pourront en permanence surveiller notre état de santé, de nouveaux outils pourront permettre l’élaboration de traitements contre des maladies génétiques, des marqueurs pourront détecter et détruire une à une des cellules cancéreuses etc etc…. De ces larges domaines, découlera un impact sur un vaste spectre d’industries, telles les cosmétiques, les pharmaceutiques, l’automobile, l’électroménager, l’hygiène, le bâtiment, la communication, la sécurité, la conquête spatiale…. L’environnement également, bénéficiera à terme d’énergies plus propres, plus économes, et de matériaux moins polluants. Bref, de très nombreux aspects de notre vie quotidienne seront d’une manière ou d’une autre affectés par la maîtrise des Nanotechnologies, car les Nanotechnologies vont permettre de faire mieux, avec moins. Calendrier Au jour d’aujourd’hui, en ce début de troisième millénaire, des produits nanotechnologiques existent déjà dans le commerce. Ainsi on peut se procurer des raquettes de tennis plus résistantes et légères car composées en parties de nanotubes de carbone, ou encore des cosmétiques contenant des nano particules assurant une meilleure pénétration de l’épiderme. Mais on est encore loin de l’ère nanotechnologique qui envahira notre quotidien. Quand la révolution aura elle lieu ? Quand bénéficierons nous massivement des progrès des Nanotechnologies ? Les estimations varient. Les extrêmes vont de 2010 à 2040, avec progressivement, un développement de l’approche de bas en haut pour aboutir à la fabrication moléculaire si cette théorie peut être mise en pratique sans obstacle majeur. Enjeux, responsabilités L’enjeu du développement des nanotechnologies est continental : l’Amérique, l’Europe et l’Asie s’apprêtent activement à un développement conséquent qui ne s’arrêtera pas de sitôt. Des investissements massifs sont débloqués en vue du développement des Nanotechnologies de par le monde. Etouffer le développement de la grande révolution post industrielle qui se dessine, pour des raisons d’éthique extrême ou de prudence anti-apocalypse serait une grave erreur au niveau stratégique, car plus que jamais, la compétition mondiale sera nourrie, à un tel point que de nouveaux pôles de super puissance pourraient apparaître, notamment en Asie. Cependant, si le développement des Nanotechnologies doit être encouragé, il est à orienter très sérieusement dans le bon sens : des garde fous sont à placer, car comme toute grande avancée technologique, les nouvelles potentialités offertes réservent des inconnus et des risques à craindre telle une compétition effrénée vers de nouvelles armes plus petites et meurtrières.
