What's New on Howard Lovy's NanoBot
Independent nanotechnology information and commentary

Buckytube goes modeling
Found this on Froogle, on my way to looking up something else. This
Fullerene Buckytube-Nanotube Molecular Model Kit will build a nanotube
consisting of eight alternating five- and six-member rings (other
combinations possible). This comes courtesy of Indigo Instruments. And,
no, this is not an advertorial. I've never spoken to the company and I
get no proceeds. Just thought it looked cool.

What's Up, Paradox?
Picked up a pizza in Berkley, Mich., yesterday and had to stop and
cameraphone this store next door. I couldn't help but wonder why this
type of establishment would need to post business hours.

Georgia Tech's Ambassador of Nano
Daniel Moore, Georgia Tech nanotech Ph.D. candidate and blogger recently
gave a successful talk to the Druid Hills Civitan Club. Judging from the
prepared version (Word doc) of his talk, Moore did a masterful (or, even
doctoral) job of balancing the long-term promises of nanotech with
today's realities and touching on some of the ethical and societal
concerns in the news these days.

  From Wilkes-Barre to Wolfe
In Wilkes-Barre, Pa., on the banks of the Susquehanna River, which once
flowed into the lucrative anthracite mines of Northeastern Pennsylvania,
there's a wildly popular polka band that calls itself Stanky and the
Coal Miners.

Blogs help promote virtual nano conference
If Australia is too far away for you, why not try a virtual trip Down
Under to the Pacific Rim Conference in Nanoscience Sept. 7-12. All
lectures including slides and audio from the conference will be
available through this Web site. Sign-up for the Web-based hub is free.
The event is going to be a multidisciplinary deal, covering
nanofluidics, nanobio interfaces, nanofabrication, water, energy and
minerals, nanoparticles, and computational nanoscience.

  From the Dark Tower of my memory
You wanna read something that was left on the cutting-room floor
(probably deservedly so) in my just-released report on nanostorage and
nanomemory? At the risk of total humiliation, here goes:

The Tao of Dow
Dow Chemical Co. here in my home state recently announced that President
and COO Andrew Liveris will take over as CEO this November. As Chemical
& Engineering News reported in January, nano is on Liveris' mind. "Maybe
an investment in nanotechnology would help Dow continue to grow, Liveris
suggests," wrote journalist Marc S. Reish.

WSJ is down with nano
A couple of Wall Street Journal editors must have been desperate for
material, so they lowered their standards just long enough to let one of
my opinion pieces slip through. But you have to be a subscriber to read
it. Here's a teaser:
