<div dir="ltr">Merle, go to <a href="http://phys.org">phys.org</a> and click on the Nanotechnology tab. <a href="https://phys.org/nanotech-news/">https://phys.org/nanotech-news/</a> . Free, as in birds. Short, usually accessible, articles on what's current research, sort of on the level of Science News. The article usually wind up with a please-fund-me paragraph on potential applications. My own view is that nano engineering is mostly getting absorbed into materials science (sensors, filters, optics, etc).<div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 12:14 PM Stephen Guerin <<a href="mailto:stephen.guerin@simtable.com">stephen.guerin@simtable.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Merle,<br><br>I'm no expert but here are some writings<br><br>I trust Philip Ball as a science writer that distills well and doesn't add mushy fluff:<br><a href="https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/8/6/nwaa266/6009035" target="_blank">https://academic.oup.com/nsr/article/8/6/nwaa266/6009035</a><br><br>There's some debate on using the framework of Complexity as an appropriate lens for nanotechnology (I only where one pair of sunglasses)<br>referencing Laughlins "A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down"<br><a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/046503828X" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/046503828X</a><br><br>reviews: <br><a href="https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.2138425" target="_blank">https://physicstoday.scitation.org/doi/full/10.1063/1.2138425</a><br><a href="http://www.softmachines.org/wordpress/?p=104" target="_blank">http://www.softmachines.org/wordpress/?p=104</a><br><br>As an aside, we're working with wildfire folks in:<br></div><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 40px;border:none;padding:0px"><div>Aviation, Forest Fire and Emergency Services (AFFES)</div><div>Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry </div><div>Government of Ontario<br><br></div></blockquote>Your Dean at U of Ottawa may be interested in how we're applying complexity in his province.<br>_______________________________________________________________________<br><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><a href="mailto:stephen.guerin@simtable.com" target="_blank">Stephen.Guerin@Simtable.com</a><div>CEO, Simtable <a href="http://www.simtable.com/" target="_blank">http://www.simtable.com</a><br><div>1600 Lena St #D1, Santa Fe, NM 87505<div><div>office: (505)995-0206 <span style="font-size:12.8px">mobile: (505)577-5828</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px">twitter: @simtable</span></div><div><span style="font-size:12.8px"><a href="http://zoom.com/j/5055775828" target="_blank">z</a><a href="http://oom.simtable.com" target="_blank">oom.simtable.com</a></span></div><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jan 24, 2022 at 11:29 AM Merle Lefkoff <<a href="mailto:merlelefkoff@gmail.com" target="_blank">merlelefkoff@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">Merle needs a bit of help.
