Nanotechnology Press Kit

Nanotechnology Now is the premier site on the Web for news updates and general information about nanotechnology. On their site you can find a new "Nanotechnology Press Kit", a centralized source for accurate and informative background materials. It's the definitive reference guide for reporters and other writers on the subject.

The Nanotechnology Press Kit is divided into ten sections:

  1. Overview
  2. History of Nanotechnology
  3. Introduction to Nanoscale Technology
  4. Introduction to Molecular Manufacturing
  5. Molecular Manufacturing Myths
  6. Risks and Benefits of Nanoscale Technology
  7. Risks and Benefits of Molecular Manufacturing
  8. FAQ
  9. Glossary
  10. Additional Resources

CRN was pleased to participate in this joint effort to create a comprehensive clearinghouse of information. Contributors included: Adam Keiper, managing editor of The New Atlantis; Paul Holister, chief architect of the Nanotechnology Opportunity Report; Rosa Wang, strategic consultant for Geographic Engine; Steve Burgess of Burgess Forensic; Jonathan Swartz, research fellow at the Center for Law, Science, and Technology at Arizona State University; and Chris Phoenix, CRN's Director of Research.
