This February the Seattle Nanotechnology Study Group organized a
nanotechnology conference. The arduous process of transcribing, editing, and
and organization of the proceeding has been completed by Jim Lewis (I believe
he has been featured on that nanotechnology program that was mentioned
earlier). This work is a piece of art (its not just transcriptions thrown
together). It also contains an article by John Cramer that will be featured in
an upcoming 'Analog'.
