The papers from the meeting will be published as part of a special issue of the Proceedings of the Royal Society and will also appear in the NATO ASI Series by Kluwer Academic Publishers. Dr. Merkle also spoke on molecular manufacturing in August at Georgia Tech. He and Foresight director James Bennett led a workshop on that topic later in the meeting. On August 23, Dr. Drexler spoke on molecular manufacturing as a clean manufacturing technology in the Design for Environment session of the American Chemical Society's annual conference. The presentation was so popular that he was asked to write it up for publication.

Prof. T. Ross Kelly of Boston College's Department of Chemistry visited the IMM office on Aug. 21 to collaborate on molecular component design and synthesis strategies. Foresight One of Foresight's main goals is to communicate the concepts of nanotechnology and molecular manufacturing to members of various groups, from scientists to students. Please write us and describe your experiences explaining nanotechnology to others. Please describe any problems you've encountered. And, last, please tell us a bit about yourself.
