Archival materials
Newsletters
Date:
1986-2004
Summary:
The collection contains an almost complete set of the quarterly newsletter Foresight Background and its successor Foresight Update from 1987 to January, 2004. Also included are five issues of Foresight Briefing. The Foresight Institute of Palo Alto, California, studies transformative technologies.
Scope and Contents:
The collection contains an almost complete set of the quarterly newsletter Foresight Background and its successor Foresight Update from 1987 to January, 2004. Foresight Update is now a weekly newsletter. Also included are five issues of Foresight Briefing, a newsletter containing single, in-depth articles. The newsletters contain essays, reviews of nanotechnology research, student prizes, question-and-answer sets, reference information, in-depth full length articles, and advertisements for nano-related scientific companies and legal services. Miscellaneous mailings from the Foresight Institute to members, such as contribution requests, announcements of upcoming events, and publication offers are included.
Arrangement:
Collection is arranged into two series.

Series 1, Newsletters, 1989-2004

Series 2, Miscellaneous materials, 1986-2002 and undated
Biographical / Historical:
Started by Dr. Eric Drexler in 1986 in Palo Alto, California, the non-profit Foresight Institute's mission is to anticipate and meet the future challenges of advances in technology. The Institute seeks to increase knowledge about advances, and to encourage and enable free and open discussion and study of them. Its primary focus is on "molecular nanotechnology, the coming ability to build materials and products with atomic precision." It was the first organization to educate society about the benefits and risks of nanotechnology. The Institute hosts regular conferences on nanotechnology subjects, and it publishes articles, books, and a quarterly newsletter entitled Foresight Update (formerly Foresight Background). The Institute awards annual prizes in two categories, entitled the Foresight Institute Feynman Award, in honor of physicist Richard Feynman. One award is given for experimental research and the other for theory in advances in nanotechnology.
Provenance:
The collection was donated by Steven F. Lubar, former curator in the National Museum of American History's Division of the History of Technology (now Division of Work and Industry) in 2004.

Date:
2001 October 1
General:
Total Running Time: 30:19, Camera 1

Opens with a discussion of nanotechnology and shows video footage explaining the construction and properties of fullerenes. Kroto states that the twenty-first century will be the century of nanoscale materials. Shows slides of molecular art-hemoglobin and adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Question and answer with students:

Did people know they were using bucky balls when they lit a candle?

Was winning the Nobel prize your shining moment?

How can your discovery benefit mankind?

Can superconducting materials be made using carbon fullerenes?

Can society use C60 to make automobiles pollute less?

If C60 are on meteorites, are they on other planets?

Is it better to conduct research independently or collaboratively?
