: : Sixth Foresight : Sixth Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology : http://www.foresight.org/conference/MNT6/ : Call for Abstracts : November 12-15, 1998 at the Westin Hotel in Santa Clara, CA. : An intensive Tutorial on Critical Enabling Technologies for : Nanotechnology will be held on November 12. : Two annual $5000 Feynman Prizes in Molecular Nanotechnology, one each for : experimental and theoretical work, will be presented. : See http://www.foresight.org/FI/1997Feynman.html for details on : last year's prize. : Nobel Laureate Richard Smalley, keynote speaker at the 1997 : conference, says: "The idea behind nanotechnology is ultimately, and : maybe sometime very soon, to custom design the materials around us atom by : atom, much like an architect designs a building." : Topics Covered : This conference is a meeting of scientists and technologists : working in fields leading toward molecular nanotechnology: : thorough three-dimensional structural control of materials and devices : at the molecular level. The conference will cover topics relevant to the : pursuit of molecular control including: : molecular electronics : biochemical molecular engineering : scanning probe microscopy : supramolecular chemistry and self-assembly : materials science : mechanosynthesis : natural molecular machines : artificial molecular machines : artificial self replicating systems : computational chemistry and molecular modeling : computer science : mechanical engineering and robotics applications : relevant chemical systems (fullerenes, diamond, biomolecules, etc.) : Submission information: : Extended abstracts 30 June 1998 : Acceptance notices early August 1998 : Full papers 15 October 1998 : Text format HTML : Image formats JPEG and GIF : Video format MPEG : Send extended abstracts (1-4 pages plus figures) to : inform@foresight.org,globus@nas.nasa.gov, and deepak@nas.nasa.gov. : Authors are encouraged to include the data where relevant and practical. : All accepted abstracts and papers will be permanently archived on the : conference's or author's web server. : Proceedings: : As in previous years, proceedings are expected to be published as a : special issue of the Institute of Physics journal Nanotechnology. : http://www.iop.org/Journals/na : Conference Co-chairs: Al Globus and Deepak Srivastava, MRJ : Technology Solutions, Inc. at NASA Ames Research Center. : Cosponsors: : Caltech Materials and Process Simulation Center : Institute for Molecular Manufacturing : Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory NERSC : NASA Ames Numerical Aerospace Simulation Systems Division : Rice Univ.
