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:
- Overview
- History of Nanotechnology
- Introduction to Nanoscale Technology
- Introduction to Molecular Manufacturing
- Molecular Manufacturing Myths
- Risks and Benefits of Nanoscale Technology
- Risks and Benefits of Molecular Manufacturing
- FAQ
- Glossary
- 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.
