Fifty years ago, there was no Silicon
Valley. Thirty years ago, there was no biotech
industry. Ten years ago, there was no
Internet. Who knows what new enterprises will be
created or what medical breakthroughs will result
because of our institutes? But this we do know
breakthroughs will occur.
Former Governor Gray Davis,
State of the State Address, January 2000

You rarely find the most important things by
deliberately looking for them.

Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies
Mission The mission of the new Institute for
Collaborative Biotechnologies (ICB) is to provide
national leadership in frontier research at the
interface between biotechnology and engineering
in order to harness complex biological mechanisms
for the development of revolutionary approaches
to advanced sensors electronic, optical, and
magnetic materials information process and
network control systems to enhance the
effectiveness of the Army. The motivating vision
is to provide the Army with full-spectrum access
to high-impact biotechnologies that will
accelerate the pace of Army transformation.

Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies
Sensors on the antennas of this moth are capable
of detecting just a single molecule of the scent
released by its mate, inspiring efforts to
harness the mechanisms underlying this remarkable
sensitivity
16
Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies
The Information Processing team investigates the
role of electron spin correlation in biological
information transfer
ICB's biotechnology develops new route to
semiconductor nano-fabrication
ICB researchers explore novel RNA-based
technology for sensor development

The principles of physics, as far as I can see,
do not speak against the possibility of
maneuvering things atom by atom." Richard
Feynman, from his classic 1959 talk There is
Plenty of Room at the Bottom

Feynman PrizesTwo Nanotechnology Challenges
It is my intention to offer a prize of 1,000 to
the first guy who can take the information on the
page of a book and put it on an area 1/25,000
smaller in linear scale, in such manner that it
can be read by an electron microscope. And I
want to offer another prize of another 1,000 to
the first guy who makes an operating electric
motora rotating electric motor which can be
controlled from the outside and, not counting the
lead-in wires, is only 1/64 inch cube. I do not
expect that such prizes will have to wait very
long for claimants.
Offered by Richard Feynman in 1959

prize 1 awarded in 1960, prize 2 in
1985

First Feynman Prize - McLellan's Motor (awarded
in 1960)
Bill McLellan "He'd seen a lot of cranks come in
with motors who didn't understand the challenge
and I brought in a big box, and he said 'Uh-oh,
here's another one of them.' And then I opened my
wooden box and there was my microscope, and he
said 'Oh! Nobody else brought a microscope!'"
"Feynman's disappointment was he didn't get the
new method," says McLellan. Nevertheless, he
handed over the 1,000 prize he had promised. And
McLellan said it did help Feynman's goal in the
longer term.

Feynman Grand Prize (created in 1996 by the
Foresight Institute so far unclaimed)
250,000 prize for the first persons to design
and build two nanotechnology devices
  • a nano-scale robotic arm
  • a computing device that demonstrates the
    feasibility of building a nanotechnology computer

Invitation to Enter a New Field of
Physics Richard Feynman lecture at Caltech, 1959
The marvelous biological system The biological
example of writing information on a small scale
has inspired me to think of something that should
be possible. Biology is not simply writing
information it is doing something about it. A
biological system can be exceedingly small. Many
of the cells are very tiny, but they are very
active they manufacture various substances they
walk around they wiggle and they do all kinds
of marvelous thingsall on a very small scale.
Also, they store information. Consider the
possibility that we too can make a thing very
small which does what we wantthat we can
manufacture an object that maneuvers at that
level!

Nanotechnology can lift mankind to a higher
level, and give the pioneer nation an edge over
all others." Minister Mentor Lee Kuan
Yew, at the Boao Forum for Asian, April 23, 2005
