The technological and other developments to watch was expanded to four parts:1. Computers, robots, electronics and communication2. Energy and transportation3. DNA/biotech/synthetic biology, nanotechnology – this section4. Medicine, life extension, space, manufacturing and anything else that was not covered 1. DNA nanotechnology There was a lot of activity with DNA nanotechnology in 2008 with new synthetic …
I made about 156 prediction back in March 2006 in a nanotech-now article. I reviewed the predictions in September 2007 PREDICTION: Thousand CPU, FPGA simulator 2007-2008 – CORRECT The RAMP Blue v3.0 rack, with 21 BEE2s, each with 48 cores, for a total of 1008 MicroBlaze cores PREDICTION: Advanced microscopes with 0.5 angstrom accuracy and …
Convergence08 was this past weekend, Nov 15-16, 2008. There were many talks and discussions. I gave an update on high impact technology. I did not have the proper connection for a Macbook and an older projector, so gave this talk with the slides as mainly my own notes. A preamble was added. During the initial …
Researchers have now discovered a method that produces the bucky ball configuration of carbon with nearly 100% conversion efficiency from precursor materials. Getting high efficiencies means that you don’t have to sift through the reaction product and separate what you wanted—not a small challenge when you’re sorting billions of particles with nanometer dimensions. The relatively …

There are good articles at accelerating future. 1. Michael describes the confusion around the term the Singularity 2. He describes 10 top transhumanist technologies I would expand out item number 8 Gene therapy/RNA interference with synthetic biology and synthetic life and DNA nanotechnology. I also think quantum computers will be quite important Designer materials, new …
