June 20, 2007 — Nominations for this year’s Foresight Nanotech Institute Feynman Prizes for Nanotechnology — as well as related Communications and Student prizes — are being accepted now until June 30.
The Feynman Prizes, named in honor of pioneer physicist Richard Feynman, are given in two categories, one for experiment and the other for theory in nanotechnology. Established in 1993, the prizes honor researchers whose recent work has most advanced the achievement of Feynman’s goal for nanotechnology: the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of productive nanosystems.
The two prizes will be awarded at the “Productive Nanosystems: Launching the Technology Roadmap,” conference October 9-10, 2007 in Arlington, Virginia.
