Transhuman. Ubuntu. Arduino. The Nanotube Site. Translation to Romanian Maybe the most significant spin-off product of fullerene research, leading to the discovery of the C60 "buckyball" by the 1996 Nobel Prize laureates Robert F. Curl, Harold W. Kroto, and Richard E. Smalley, are nanotubes based on carbon or other elements. These systems consist of graphitic layers seamlessly wrapped to cylinders. With only a few nano-meters in diameter, yet (presently) up to a milli-meter long, the length-to-width aspect ratio is extremely high. A truly molecular nature is unprecedented for macroscopic devices of this size. The primary purpose of The Nanotube Site is to facilitate the exchange of ideas among researchers by concentrating links to sites dedicated to nanotubes.
The Nanotube Site is maintained regularly by David Tomanek, work and travel schedule permitting. ... back to David Tomanek's home page. Mobile-fine-tuning.

Features and Uses. Locusts Watch Star Wars To Create Robot Vision. 8 April 2000 by Kate Melville British and Swiss scientists have developed a robot with an electronic visual system based on that of a locust, enabling it to behave like a swarming insect and avoid collisions with objects. Dr Claire Rind, of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, showed locusts clips of the Star Wars movie to study how their eyes and nerve cells reacted to fast-moving objects and backgrounds. She hopes the robot's neural network program, which mimics part of the locust's brain, will be the basis of a collision-avoidance system for cars. The conventional approach to creating such systems involves using radar or infrared detectors, and requires very heavy-duty computer processing. Insects, however, manage to dodge objects despite poor vision and basic brains.
She also found that locusts distinguish between approaching and receding objects from the way in which edges of an object's image grow and move over each compound eye. HAL. And AIML Documentation (A.L.I.C.E. AI Foundation) The Elements of AIML Style by Dr. Richard S. Wallace is a no-nonsense technical book that takes you on a journey from the first steps of creating your own bot with AIML, through all the questions and answers every botmaster asks, to advanced A.I. and hard-nosed business applications of AIML. The trip ends with a brief glimpse into the future of bots and AIML.
The Elements of AIML Style is also available as a benefit of membership in the ALICE A.I. Foundation. Join the A.I.

Smart House. *notcot in design , 19:43 On incredible temporary event spaces, the Smart House (home of the Smart Fortwo) is one of the coolest spaces around.
Located on Abbot Kinney in Venice Beach, surrounded by some of the cutest boutiques, restaurants, and bars and only a few blocks from the beach, its a pity this loft will only be around till january. I was lucky enough to make it to the A+R launch dinner where we had dinner at the Smart House and cooked with Hans Rockenwagner and Wolfgang Gussmack of Rockenwagner - outdoor on the patio as a group we helped “cook” (aka stir) an unbelievably delicious pasta paella. Additionally when not housing special functions the ground floor is a showroom (cars ready to test drive out back) and a gallery space (i must admit i was pretty giddy to be having dinner with two Catalina Estrada paintings behind me) ~ while i was there the ROJO Magazine Collaboration with Smart’s new Fortwo was up!
Here are some interior shots ~ Here is Mr. So delicious!

Answers differ depending on who you ask, and their background. Broadly speaking however, nanotechnology is the act of purposefully manipulating matter at the atomic scale, otherwise known as the "nanoscale. " Coined as "nano-technology" in a 1974 paper by Norio Taniguchi at the University of Tokyo, and encompassing a multitude of rapidly emerging technologies, based upon the scaling down of existing technologies to the next level of precision and miniaturization. Foresight Nanotech Institute Founder K. In the future, "nanotechnology" will likely include building machines and mechanisms with nanoscale dimensions, referred to these days as Molecular Nanotechnology (MNT).
