Site of the Day for Wednesday, January 30, 2002 Foresight Institute - Nanotechnology And you thought nanotechnology was the stuff of only science fiction. "Foresight Institute's goal is to guide emerging technologies to improve the human condition. Foresight focuses its efforts upon nanotechnology, the coming ability to build materials and products with atomic precision, and upon systems that will enhance knowledge exchange and critical discussion, thus improving public and private policy decisions." - from the website Will nanotechnology become the next scientific wave to change our lives? At this extensive website, which caters to both the general and technical reader, there are conference papers, links to the academic study of the subject and a section on jobs in the field, as well as an archive of the Foresight Insitute's Newsletter. The List's gentle members can even read complete books on the topic, which are available on the website, one of which, "Unbounding the Future", provides a non-technical discussion of the fascinating possibilities of nanotechnology.
