    The author is right, interest in nanotechnology never really waned, despite the economic calamaties:

    1. A list of nanotechnology companies in general

    2. In Canada, alot is being spent on R&D for nanotechnology: Nanotechnology R&D Initiatives in Canada

    3. And they are crazy about it in Asia (many PDF reports)

    Since the topic of SPAM was recently at hand, I wonder long it will be before we start getting: "***enlarge your penis*** Rapid PENIS ENLARGEMENT through the use of amazing NANOTECHNOLOGY advances "***enlarge your penis*** "

  5. Re:Two articles confused. by Thagg · · Score: 2 · on Cold CRT Guns for Thinner CRTs

    Pixtech is one of the companies hoping to make field emission CRT displays. They've been around for a while, and always seem to be on the verge of something great. Perhaps the problem with maintaining the sharpness of the emitting points mentioned in this articles is the sticking point.

    This page is a good primer on the different competing display technologies.

  7. Spoke too soon... by sbeitzel · · Score: 1 · on Micro-robots unveiled

    The 1997 report leads me to believe that some of the technology required has been developed and is being integrated. A pertinent quote:

    integration is carried on the following technologies: wireless energy supply (optical and microwave), environment recognition device, connector, micro gear train, micro motor, micro catheter, micro welder, optical scanner, and angular velocity sensor

    Sadly, more detail may not be available. Another quote:
