• Dynamic Self-Assembly: Nano-Structured Fluids’ Hidden Gold
  The broader nanotechnology community is waking up to the hidden gold that lies in the study of nanofluids - and their unique ability to self-assemble. See how cutting edge scientists at Argonne National Labs and IBM are borrowing a page from the makers of cosmetics (and even foods like margarine) to create new nano-techniques for heat transfer and electronic applications.

• From Polio to Cancer - Nanotech Diagnosis and Delivery Tools are Key...
  Fifty years ago, in 1955, Jonas Salk unlocked the secrets of the polio vaccine. Soon after, children could take a pill, rather than a needle, thanks to the work of Albert Sabin. Both were aided by new technologies of the time that provided better imaging, quicker diagnosis, and easier delivery. Today, 50 years later, cancer researchers say many areas of nanotechnology -- not simply bio-nano -- will provide the next wave of precision research and delivery tools, and in the bargain set the stage for the next Salk and Sabin.

• Raith's e_LiNE Breaks Nano Research Barriers - Allows Scientists To Fabricate, Relocate, Test and Modify Devices With One Instrument
  As nanotechology research dives deeper into extremely small-scale dimensions of 50 nanometers and below, a new set of challenges face engineers and scientists: Most instruments just don't provide the level of control and precision needed to relocate, measure, and modify such small particles work. Raith "Nano-engineering Workbench" dubbed the e_LiNE (for electron Lithography Nano Engineering) allows researchers the ability to create, see, find, characterize, test and modify their nano-structures, in-situ, all on the same platform.

  Small technologies are rapidly maturing from lab to marketplace. The Nanotech Ventures 2005 Early Stage Company Review provides an ideal forum for "seed" to "early-stage" companies to showcase their technologies, market advantages, and to search for funding. Companies are given 15 minutes to present and will have on-site feedback from Nanotech Ventures Vetting Team. This years team includes representatives from such firms as: IBM, Intel Capital, Mohr, Davidow Ventures, Burns Doane, DuPont Ventures, ChevronTexaco Technology Ventures, Motorola Investments, Echelon Ventures, Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr, Harris and Harris Group, Greenberg Traurig, 3i, UBS and Draper Fisher Jurvetson.
