In a 47-minute interview Christine Peterson discusses the future that science and technology is bringing over the next few decades, and how to get involved to push the future in a positive direction.

An interview with Foresight Co-Founder and Past President Christine Peterson covering both the current state and the future prospects of nanotechnology is available on Youtube.

A brief article reviews several types of molecular machines that chemists have built to mimic biology and provide movement for future types of nanotechnology.

From Desiree D. Dudley, Foresight Director of Development and Outreach: 1)Foresighters Christine Peterson and Desiree Dudley will be speaking at NASA-Ames’ Singularity University this Monday night, August 13th, from 8-10pm.

A new book documenting tremendous strides toward a better future reached #1 on both Amazon and BarnesAndNoble.

Human life after advanced nanotechnology has been developed will be fundamentally different from life up until that point.

An article in The Guardian quotes Christine Peterson and Robert Freitas on the vision of molecular manufacturing. Freitas is quoted as expecting that the development of nanofactories could be done in 20 years for “on the order of” one billion dollars.

When can we expect advanced nanomachinery to be commercialized? Will any technologies not be affected in some way by advanced nanotechnology?

The Thiel Foundation is offering $100,000 grants to innovators age 19 or younger who want to skip college and focus on their work, their research, and their self-education—Deadline Dec 31.

Foresight announces election of new president Larry Millstein; schedules “Meet The President: Dinner Reception” Monday 12/12, 6:30pm @ Don Giovanni’s in Mountain View, CA; kicks off Annual Challenge Grant – donate this month for double the value to Foresight!

Have you seen those beautiful animations illustrating how the complex molecular machinery in a cell works? (Ex. http://youtu.be/sa563MdIiXE) Just how much of that is ‘made up’? How much is real? How is the information gathered, and what potentials can we unlock with it? Foresight is proud to announce its next dinner lecture: “Elucidating Bio-Nanomachines: Microscopies [...]

June 25-26, 2011 Mountain View, California http://www.foresight.org/reunion/ Thanks to all for a successful summer conference! We’re still hearing about some great connections and synergies made at the gathering that will help further transformative nanotech. With the addition of NASA-Ames Singularity University grad students, as well as 20Under20 Thiel Fellows, there was standing room only on [...]

Foresight is happy to congratulate our Director of Operations, Faisal Ahmed, on successful admittance to law school. Faisal will be with us as he transitions to a new schedule over the next month, but this also means Foresight has two positions open for immediate hire at our Menlo Park, California office. So… Inspired by emerging [...]
