Feynman Prize 2004 Nominations - Due June 30, 2004
Palo Alto, CA. May 20th, 2004
Now is the time to submit your own research or nominate a colleague for consideration for the Foresight Institute Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology.
Two prizes, one for theoretical and one for experimental work, will be awarded to researchers whose recent work has most advanced the achievement of Feynman's goal for nanotechnology: molecular manufacturing, defined as the construction of atomically-precise products through the use of molecular machine systems.
Established in honor of Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman, the prizes will be presented at the:
1st Symposium On Molecular Machine Systems
October 22, 2004
Crystal City Marriott Hotel,
Washington, DC USA

An award of $5,000 will be given in each category to the top submission selected by the committee.

- List of up to five most relevant publications
- URLs for, or electronic files of, up to five most relevant publications
- Statement of up to 400 words describing the work and its relevance to the goal of MNT, e.g., molecular manufacturing and molecular machine systems. [If the work has multiple authors, the nominee's role must be stated.]
Submissions should be emailed to foresight@foresight.org, or CDs mailed to Foresight Institute at the postal address below, to arrive by June 30, 2004. Contact information should be included for nominator as well as nominee. Finalists may be contacted for additional information.
