In yet another in a long list of improvements to DNA based molecular machines, DNA molecular robots learn to walk in any direction along a branched track.

New options to control nanoelectronic systems may arise from the demonstration that mechanical manipulation can control conductance through single molecule electrode junctions.

A cover article in Time magazine portrays the Singularity, Ray Kurzweil, AI, life extension, and nanotechnology as “an idea that rewards sober, careful evaluation.”

MIT computer scientist Joseph Bates is featured in Business Week as an innovator working to make computers much faster and more powerful by letting the computer make estimates instead of making precise calculations for all steps.

James C. Ellenbogen writes to provide insight and personal perspective on the world’s first programmable nanoprocessor, achieved as the product of a collaboration between Harvard and MITRE, with the team at MITRE comprising Shamik Das, James Klemic, and Ellenbogen.

Combining nanoparticles and graphene with platinum produces more efficient and durable catalyst for fuel cells.

Researchers at Harvard and MITRE have produced the world’s first programmable nanoprocessor

A new technique is reported to use templates to build synthetic molecules the size of proteins by precisely stringing together smaller molecules using an approach based upon the vernier scale.

The Seventeenth International Conference on DNA Computing and Molecular Programming will be held 19-23 September, 2011 at Caltech in Pasadena, California.
