USA Today - Nanotechnology's Everywhere
NEW YORK - If you're worried that nanotechnology is going to contaminate the Earth and needs to be stopped before it destroys the human species, well ... heh-heh ... too late! Last week, I stopped by the NanoBusiness 2005 conference just off Wall Street. The overarching theme: Nanotech isn't just a lab experiment anymore. It's spreading fast and in some surprising ways...

eWeek - Companies Aim to Score Big With Tiny Technologies
NEW YORK - Focusing on the small things presents big challenges for the emerging field of nanotechnology. While applications for the technology are wide open and venture capital dollars are readily available-many of the companies assembled at the NanoBusiness Conference 2005 a trade show held here wherein nanotechnologists are rubbing elbows with each other and Wall Street types-the challenges are great for the industry, which is still in its infancy.

eWeek and PC Magazine - Nanotech Will Bring the World To Its Ears
Researchers see nanotechnology in the future as a bridge to truly ubiquitous communications. Jeffrey Jaffe, the president of Lucent Technologies Inc.'s Bell Labs Research and Advanced Technologies operation, spoke at the NanoBusiness Conference, a gathering of nanotechnology researchers, venture capitalists and Wall Street analysts in Manhattan. During his keynote address, Jaffe said that the pieces are falling in place to create nanotechnology-enabled communications networks that allow people to converse over great distances, while feeling as if they're in the same room.

eWeek - Intel May Combine Silicon with Carbon Nanotubes
Companies presenting at this week's NanoBusiness Conference in New York are applying the concept to create tiny transmitters for communications gear, craft nanofibers that weave into sturdier clothing and even devise new treatments for diseases such as cancer. [MORE]

InformationWeek and EE Times - Nanotech Seen Enabling New Communications Era
NEW YORK - Bell Laboratories President Jeff Jaffe predicted that nanoscience could make ubiquitous communications a transformational technology on the order of the telephone and television. At the Nanobusiness conference here on Tuesday (May 24), keynoter Jaffe predicted nanotechnologies applied to communications will transform other industries in a way that no other technology has done in the past...

UPI Wire - Nano World: New Cell Phones With Nanotech
Bell Labs researchers are developing more efficient filters of unwanted signals using nano-scale piezoelectric stacks and high-performance inductors created using self-assembly techniques. "Nanotechnology is all about small, light and cheap, and you're not in the cell phone business if you're not thinking small, light and cheap -- the two are made for each other," said David Bishop, vice president of research at Lucent's Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J. "With nanotechnology, you can lower costs, increase functionality and lower power," Bishop said at a meeting of the NanoBusiness Alliance in New York. [MORE]

Red Herring - Keeping Nanotech at Home
Nanotechnology industry leaders and advocates are expressing concern over potential export controls of the tiny technology developed in the United States. For the past several months, the U.S. Department of Commerce has been mulling over changes to limit sales of nano-enabled products to foreign firms and governments. "Just discussing export controls in our country, while Europe and Asia are making progress, could have a chilling effect on U.S. leadership in this area," Senator Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) told NanoBusiness Conference attendees over cocktails early this week in New York City.

Red Herring - Bell Labs Looks To Nanotech
Nanotechnology will be a key enabler of a telecommunications industry revolution in the coming years, Jeffrey Jaffe, Bell Labs research and advanced technologies president, said Tuesday. In a keynote lecture at the Nanobusiness Conference, Mr. Jaffe outlined Bell Labs' vision of secure, natural communications: a device-less world where people can easily converse across great distances with voice, data, and video.

Red Nova - Nano Advances, Fantastic and Mundane
May 26--At the nanotechnology show in Lower Manhattan this week, companies touted the state-of-the-art, from quantum dots to microscopes powerful enough to see atoms. And then there were two guys from Cleveland hawking cough syrup. If you follow the nanotechnology industry closely, this might not surprise you. But if you don't, such humdrum on display alongside the uber-advances at the fourth annual NanoBusiness conference might strike you as unusual... [MORE]
