Nanotechnology Bootcamp
The tremendous progress in nanoscience and
nanotechnology in the past few years is rapidly seizing the attention
of myriad industries-from biotechnology and electronics to materials
and defense-where forward looking companies have come to realize the
significant commercial impact the technology will have on their future.
These companies realize that the disruptive nature of nanotechnology
will have a significant influence on the competitive landscape and, to
remain competitive and survive, they need to position themselves now to
successfully compete in the nanotech world of the future.
One of the key challenges that many companies face is the readiness of their workforce. The fact that nanoscience and nanotechnology are new and interdisciplinary in nature means workers lack the knowledge and tools to effectively lead their companies in the research and development, new product development, manufacturing, business development and marketing efforts that will be needed to position their companies for future success.
The Nanotechnology BootCamp Series serves as a tremendous training resource for companies that need to bring their workforce rapidly up-to-speed on nanoscience and nanotechnology. We have surveyed company representatives from a wide variety of industries to determine their most pressing training needs. Based upon these surveys, we have designed the following four in-depth courses as the first in this ongoing series:
Nanotechnology
Database from the NSF
This site is designed to present
up-to-date sources of information on nanotechnology in the following
areas: major research centers, funding agencies, major reports and
books. Each component has been carefully reviewed and
selected. This site is expected to grow with the continued support and
updates from those organizations and individuals working in the field.
The summaries which appear were taken directly from each of their
respective sites.
Nanotechnology Simulation Hub
Operated by the Purdue
Computational Electronics Research Group
Nanotube Site
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 sheets 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. Accordingly, the number of
both specialized and large-scale applications is growing constantly.
The idea to establish a dedicated
Nanotube Site was conceived during the seminal ONR-sponsored Workshop
on "Carbon Nanotubes - Opportunities, Requirements, and Challenges" at
Rice University, from May 30 - June 1, 1997 (see also
Malcolm Brown's photo album) .
The primary purpose of The Nanotube Site is to
facilitate the exchange of ideas among researchers by concentrating
links to sites dedicated to nanotubes. One of the
benefits is to provide an easier (or better structured) electronic
access to bibliographical information and preprints. Information about
providers of nanotubes is intended to increase the production volume
and find new applications for nanotubes.
The Nanotube Site is maintained
regularly by David Tomanek
, work and travel schedule permitting. Help would be appreciated.
NIST Chemistry WebBook
The NIST Chemistry WebBook
provides users with easy access to chemical and physical property data
for chemical species through the internet. The data provided
in the site are from collections maintained by the NIST Standard
Reference Data Program and outside contributors. Data in the WebBook
system are organized by chemical species. The WebBook system allows
users
to search for chemical species by various means. Once the desired
species
has been identified, the system will display data for the species.

Solids, Surface & Catalysis from Accelrys
Catalysis, separations, and
reactions are controlled by the structure and interactions of molecules
and materials. Electronic structure and thermochemistry play additional
roles in determining chemical reactions, whether or not a catalyst is
involved. All of these properties can be understood by combining
powerful simulation technologies, such as molecular and quantum
mechanics, with structure determination and modeling tools.
Ended in December 2002, Accelrys'
Catalysis Consortium strove to accelerate the design and
optimization of catalytic materials through the development and
application of software tools to model catalytic reaction mechanisms.

separations, and reactions product page .
