Ed. note: every Friday (more or less) Nanotechnology Law Report’s David Fischer will look back at the week’s news and analysis of nano related issues. If you have something you’d like to bring to our attention, email him.
- The MUST SEE – literally – post of the week is NanoBot‘s posting of The Office clip about killer nanorobots.
- Speaking of robots, Advanced Nanotechnology reports on a new class of soft-bodied robots; on how insect sized robots will fight; and on Singapore’s urban warfare robot challenge.
- The Washington Post reported on the ETC Group’s contest to design a nanotechnology warning sign.
- Nanodot takes issue with this contest and the top three symbols.
- Nanotechnology Law Report’s John Monica on why workers are NOT canaries in the nanotechnology coal mines.
- Nanoscale Views wants to know what is the most powerful idea in condensed matter physics? (and make sure to read the comments).
- Nanotech Buzz is disappointed that the president did not mention nanotechnology in the state of the union speech.
- Soft Machines on the possibility of putting a pharmaceutical nanofactory inside a body.
- Microanalysis answers readers’ question. And it’s funny too.
- Although it may not be small enough to qualify as nanotechnology, it involves coffee and donuts, two of the greatest things in the world. A North Carolina molecular scientist "has developed a way to add caffeine to baked goods" such as donuts. Proof that there is a god, perhaps?
