The 11th Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology will be held at the San Francisco Airport Marriott, 1800 Old Bayshore Highway, Burlingame, CA 94010. The Conference will begin with a reception the evening of Thursday, October 9, and end Sunday, October 12, 2003. An intensive Tutorial on Foundations of Nanotechnology will be held on October 9.
This 2003 Conference home page will provide the information you will need about the conference and to register for the conference. After the conference is over, this page will provide the permanent archive for the conference.
Rapid advances in our ability to image, manipulate, and probe the properties of matter at the atomic scale—together with emerging insights into structure, function and self-assembly in biological systems—is bringing to fruition the tremendous promise of nanotechnology first recognized by Richard Feynman over 40 years ago. In the next decade, current research into the science and technology of nanostructures is expected to have a major impact on fields ranging from consumer electronics to space exploration and medicine.
The Foresight Conference covers the key topics required for an integrated
understanding of molecular nanotechnology.
Foresight Institute's first Conference on Nanotechnology, which
pre-dated the National Nanotechnology Initiative by a decade, was the first
comprehensive conference on the topic of nanotechnology.
Foresight-sponsored events continue to be the premiere venue for
discussing new and innovative multidisciplinary research in nanotechnology.
Last year's conference, the 10th in the series, attracted researchers from
academic, government and industrial laboratories world-wide, and included
papers from the chemistry, materials science, applied physics, electronics,
medical, computing, and biology communities.
Foresight's 11th Conference will continue this level of excellence by
providing a forum in which leaders from all disciplines delving into science
and technology at the nanoscale can present and discuss their most recent
results and ideas.
This is an opportunity for pioneering researchers and students to meet and
discuss scientific breakthroughs in the evolving field of molecular
nanotechnology.
