	Nanotechnology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nanoscience is the study of phenomena and manipulation of material at the nanoscale, in essence an extension of existing sciences into the nanoscale.
		Nanoscience is the world of atoms, molecules, macromolecules, quantum dots, and macromolecular assemblies, and is dominated by surface effects such as Van der Waals force attraction, hydrogen bonding, electronic charge, ionic bonding, covalent bonding, hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity, and quantum mechanical tunneling, to the virtual exclusion of macro-scale effects such as turbulence and inertia.
		Nanotechnology and nanoscience got started in the early 1980s with two major developments; the birth of cluster science and the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope (STM).

		The support by the Foundation and the honour of being a Kavli Institute will be of high value for the enhancement of excellence and the broadening of the scope of research on nanoscience.
		The Department of Nanoscience collaborates with the Kluyver Laboratory for Biotechnology in Delft and with biologists, (bio)physicists and astronomers at the University of Leiden, who are leaders in their fields.
		Further strengthening of the interdisciplinary character of the institute is desired, particularly through the hiring of capable researchers at the interfaces between physics, chemistry and biology.

	Articles - Nobel Prize (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The Nobel Prizes are prizes instituted by the will of Alfred Nobel, awarded to people (and also to organizations in the case of the Nobel Peace Prize) who have done outstanding research, invented groundbreaking techniques or equipment, or made outstanding contributions to society.
		The peace prize ceremony was held at the Norwegian Nobel Institute from 1905 until 1946, later at the ´´Aula´´ of the University of Oslo, and since 1990 at the Oslo City Hall.
		For example, in 2002, a Prize was awarded to Koichi Tanaka and John Fenn for the development of mass spectrometry in protein chemistry, failing to recognise the achievements of Franz Hillenkamp and Michael Karas of the Institute for Physical and Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Frankfurt.

	Biological motors sort molecules one by one on a chip
		Molecular bio-motors, such as the enzyme kinesin, can walk in small steps (of 8 nanometers) with a load of material along these microtubule-networks and thus provide transport within the cell.
		Fascinated by these biological motors, the researchers at Delft University of Technology’s Kavli Institute of Nanoscience are currently exploring the possibility of inserting these kinesin-motors and microtubules in an electrically directed transport system that is made by the researchers using nano-fabrication techniques.
		The researchers turned the system around: the kinesin-motors are fastened in large quantities on a surface with their ’feet’ up; the microtubules (measuring approximately 1 to 15 micrometers in length) were then transported over the ’carpet’ of motors.
