The quarterly technical journal "Nanotechnology" has published a special
issue on the Second Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology
that was held last year near Stanford.

Anyone seriously interested in nanotechnology should subscribe to this
journal, and particularly should purchase a copy of this special issue.
This is rapidly becoming the accepted place to publish technical articles
in this area.

The special issue is Volume 2, Numbers 3 & 4, July/October 1991.
ISSN:  0957-4484.

"Molecular directions in nanotechnology"
    K. Eric Drexler
"Tip-sample interactions in atomic force microscopy:
    I. Modulating adhesion between silicon nitride and glass"
    J. H. Hoh, J-P Revel and P K Hansma
"The bacterial rotary motor"

The following information is taken from the special issue:

"Nanotechnology" is an international multidisciplinary journal
publishing research papers aimed at promoting the dissemination
of research and improving understanding of nanometre scale
phenomena among the engineering, fabrication, optics, electronics,
materials sciences, biological and medical communities.  It is
hoped that the existence of this forum for the discussion and
communication of new research will clarify our vision of
miniaturisation as a scientific endeavour and help to convert
our vision of the future into a reality -- today.
