Dr. K. Eric Drexler Nanotechnology in Perspective: History, Status and Prospects Bio: Science magazine called Eric Drexler "Mr. Nanotechnology" and Newsweek elected him to their Century Club -- a list of 100 people to watch in the 21st century. In the mid 1980s, Drexler introduced the term 'nanotechnology' to describe atomically precise molecular manufacturing systems and their products. He has lectured in the US, Europe, and Japan to audiences ranging from corporate research laboratories and the World Economic Forum to a satellite-linked network of elementary school classes. In support of U.S. federal policy development, he has provided presentations and briefings to (among others) the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology, and Space, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. |

Dr. Ralph C. Merkle What Is Nanotechnology: Arranging Atoms and Creating Health and Wealth Bio: The New York Times said "Dr. Ralph C. Merkle is...a leading theorist of molecular nanotechnology, the still unperfected art of building machines that are little bigger than atoms." Winner of the 1998 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology for theory, the ACM Kanellakis Award, and the IEEE Kobayashi Award; Dr. Merkle has testified before Congress and given talks to audiences at the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Caltech, DARPA, IBM, Lockheed, MIT, NASA, NATO, the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), RAND, the Royal Society of Medicine, and hundreds of others. He pursued research in nanotechnology at Xerox PARC and then at Zyvex. He continues his research at Foresight, and consults and speaks on nanotechnology. |
