	Small Times - Cryonics conference brings out nanotech's extreme optimists
		Ralph Merkle and Robert Freitas of Zyvex Corp., a nanotechnology and MEMS research and development company in Richardson, Texas, asked the 200 or so conference attendees to imagine a time in the coming decades when doctors will routinely inject billions of nanosized robots into patients' bodies.
		Freitas is a former research fellow at the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing (IMM), in Palo Alto, Calif., and the author of the book "Nanomedicine." Merkle is the co-inventor of public-key cryptography and a former research scientist at Xerox's Palo Alto Research Center.
		Freitas admits that investors willing to look this far ahead are "rare," and that it's not likely for there to be a lot of "bubbling enthusiasm" in investor and research communities until someone can offer solid experimental demonstrations of positional assembly.

	SETV (Search for Extraterrestrial Visitation)
		The term SETA (Search for Extraterrestrial Artifacts) was first applied in 1985 by Robert Freitas and Francisco Valdes to describe the attempt "detect [evidence] in the Solar System by telescopic, radar, infrared, direct probe, or other available means".
		Freitas and Valdes were specifically interested in the search for intra-Solar System extraterrestrial probes.

	Le Magazine, October 2000 - Review: A Gift From The Future
		Freitas reports in his preface his expenditure of about 19,000 hours of effort, or essentially 10 man-years, in putting together the work, and it shows.
		Freitas provides what amounts to an intellectual battering ram capable, I believe, of breaking through the ignorance and resistance of anyone who is actually willing to view nanomedicine on its merits, and capable of understanding what Freitas says.
		Freitas, to his great credit, provides an exceptionally detailed look at how existing capabilities can be channeled into the beginnings of molecular nanotechnology, and how these beginnings can, in turn, develop into full-fledged molecular and machine manufacturing capability.

		From the Lifeboat Foundation and Robert Freitas is a proposal for grant to study if free roaming grey goo is impossible because of problems operating at room temperature.
		Recent research by Freitas (using the methods of computational chemistry including Density Functional Theory) examining specific reaction pathways for diamond mechanosynthesis (DMS) has hinted at the possibility that this assumption might be unwarranted.
