Next year, we will focus the
nanoUtah theme on technical issues facing researchers in medical areas, with
medical researcher's solicitation of engineering & science collaborations
(technology "pull"). Medical
researchers, engineers and scientists working on techniques with potential
medical applications will provide technology "push"
opportunities.
We are currently searching for
members of the nanoUtah 08 Organizing Committee, and are accepting nominations
or applications for the following volunteer positions to ensure effective
advanced planning:

Cooperative Research Centers Program (I/UCRC) (NSF 07-537) Letter of Intent : Jan 4 2008
The Industry/University
Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRCs) program develops long-term partnerships
among industry, academe, and government. The centers are catalyzed by a small
investment from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and are primarily
supported by industry center members, with NSF taking a supporting role in
their development and evolution. Each center is established to conduct research
that is of interest to both the industry and the center. An I/UCRC contributes
to the More...

Researchers
aim to harness sperm power for nano-robots
Cornell University December 3rd, 2007 Researchers
at Cornell are working to use the same energy that drives sperm to power
nanoscale robots or to deliver chemo drugs or antibiotics, for example, to
targeted sites within the body. The findings were presented at the American
Society for Cell Biology's 47th annual meeting, Dec. 3, in

3D nanorobots could lead to real cancer-fighting technology
physorg.com December 5th, 2007 From
eliminating the side effects of chemotherapy to treating Alzheimer's disease,
the potential medical applications of nanorobots are vast and ambitious. In the
past decade, researchers have made many improvements on the different systems
required for developing practical nanorobots, such as sensors, energy supply,
and data transmission. But there is still a great deal of work to do before
tiny "molecular machines" can begin traveling through our arteries
for diagnosing or treating our ailments. To try to pick up the pace, a group of
researchers has recently developed an innovative approach to help in the
research and development of nanorobots - virtual reality.
