		<description><![CDATA[Two of my interests, Big Data and Nanotechnology seems to be colliding this week and that&#8217;s a bad sign? Why? Well nanotechnology is seen as a Deus Ex Machina that performs the magic step that enables or justifies other technologies, which usually means that someone hasn&#8217;t got much of a clue how to get to ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Discussing &#8220;emerging technologies&#8221; is always a challenge as it means different things to different people. We had a go at defining it a few years ago, and Jason Pontin at MIT Technology Review justifies their shift from &#8220;emerging&#8221; to using the phrase &#8220;breakthrough technologies&#8221; in this month&#8217;s edition. Is this equally meaningless? The real problem ...]]></description>

This was memorably illustrated by one of the first ever reality TV shows, Troubleshooter, featuring former ICI chairman Sir John Harvey Jones. Never afraid to give blunt advice, Harvey-Jones&#8217; solutions to struggling businesses ranged from ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An interesting interview with Christine Peterson at the Foresight Institute. For those unfamiliar with Foresight, they were early proponents of nanotechnologies, but following Eric Drexler&#8217;s Nanosystems vision of small machines getting ever smaller and ignoring the laws of physics. As a result they got into all kinds of pointless fights with people from Nobel Laureate ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; I woke up this morning to find graphene was ubiquitous, even displacing snow as the main topic of conversation. I&#8217;m getting emails from sports stores and even the BBC breakfast news was full of it, although tempering the hype with the question &#8216;Is graphene really a wonder-material?&#8217; before concluding &#8220;The miracle material will soak ...]]></description>

A series of videos extol the benefits of this new wonder material. It’s almost ten years since French racquet manufacturer Babolat jumped on the nanotech bandwagon ...]]></description>

Or even carbon nanotubes where producing them at anywhere near the cost that anyone would be willing to pay for them has been a struggle. The main problem with many nanomaterials is that while they may have wondrous properties, conductivity, tensile strength, the ...]]></description>
