- "Engines of Creation", by Eric Drexler, PhD. Entire text is here in HTML. Probably the best non-scientific book about some of the possibilities of strong Molecular Nanotechnology. Only slightly dated. Should be your first book, unless you're a scientist. If so, your first book should be "Nanosystems", which is not on the web yet, but is in bookstores.
- Fullerene-Based Nanogear Simulation by Don Brenner and Daniel Robertson at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis. Brenner is probably one of the famous "five full time nanotechnology researchers in the world". He's doing research into chemical potentials for molecular dynamics simulation that would allow bond breaking and forming, without infinite computation. Very significant. This work presented at recent NASA Ames workshop on Computational Nanotechnology. He said that one of the most significant aspects of his work is that it shows that some designs/operating conditions can fail. This gives some normally skeptical people some confidence that his simulations may, in fact, model reality with some degree (not 100%) of accuracy.
- Facility for Computational Molecular Science at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis is an interdepartmental facility operated under the Department of Chemistry. Its goal is to provide the hardware, software and personnel resources to facilitate the use of computational science and molecular modeling in assisting and enhancing both theoretical and experimental research.

- Room-Temperature Molecule designed by IBM to have just the right amount of adhesion to a metal substrate that it will stay put at room temp (& vacuum), but can be moved around with an STM tip. This molecule was designed to have the properties it does, and was then built. It worked. State-of-the-art nanotechnology.
