- BusinessWire

LARCHMONT, N.Y., Sep 5, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Nanobiotech companies are developing miniaturized components that could revolutionize medical implants, ophthalmic surgery tools, cell manipulators, and nanofluidics, reports Genetic Engineering News (GEN; www.genengnews.com). Some firms are manufacturing nanotech systems for homeland security and other applications in national defense, according to two related articles in the September issue of GEN.

"Nanotech received a huge boost with the introduction of the atomic force microscope in the late 1980s because this allowed scientists to take measurements at the atomic level," says John Sterling, editor-in-chief of GEN. "Now, with the increasing importance of semiconductors and computers in biological research and with the leading roles played by physical scientists at nanobiotech companies, the field has really begun to take off."

An example of the merging of physics and biology can be seen in the case of BioTrove (Woburn, MA). Working with Pfizer (PFE) , BioTrove put together an ultrahigh-throughput mass spectrometry system that allows the user to perform mass spectrometry on nanoliter samples.

Another prime application for nanotech is biosensors. In Australia, Ambri Biosensor (ASX:ABI) has created a sensor out of a biological system called "ion channels," which play a key role in new drug discovery and development." The company's Ion Channel Switch technology is a self-assembling synthetic biomembrane with an ion channel in it. It can detect the presence of specific molecules and signal their presence by triggering an electrical current. Ambri has incorporated this technology into a system that has the potential to detect and measure drugs, hormones, viruses, and bacteria in less than five minutes.

Cytoplex Biosciences, a Carrolton, TX-based company, is also developing biosensors based on ion channels. The firm is creating nanoengineered material surfaces and devices have wide applications in cell based assays, diagnostics, drug delivery, and biomaterials.

"The U.S. Government is well aware of the importance of this emerging field," notes Sterling. "In May, the House and Senate voted to approve over $2 billion over the next three years for R&D in nanotechnology."

Such support helps fuel the activities of companies like Nanosys (Palo Alto, CA), which just signed an agreement with SAIC (McLean, VA), a research and engineering company. SAIC will fund selected R&D projects at Nanosys to develop nanotechnology enabled systems for defense and related government programs.

Other companies discussed in the GEN nanobiotechnology articles include Evident Technologies (Troy, NY), Agilent Technologies (A) , Nanostream (Pasadena, CA), Agie (Losone, Switzerland), Mecartex (Losone), Concentris (Basel), IBM (IBM) , eSpin Technologies (Chattanooga, TN), Nanogen (NGEN) , Nanoworld (Neuchatel, Switzerland), Zeptosens (Witterswil, Switzerland), Novartis (NVS) , and Qiagen (QGENF) .

Nanotechnology Posts Big Returns

September 18, 2003

Just how big has nanotechnology been for our subscribers? The "nanotech basket" is up an average of 76.18% in less than three months. The SmallCap MarketWatch first introduced six companies in this sector to readers in our June 17th edition titled The Big View On Nanotechnology. Five of the six stocks are up over 45% with the only under performer posting gains of 19.47%. In the past few weeks we have seen the momentum money chasing nanotech stocks. We are extremely pleased to have been ahead of the curve on this sector. Due diligence pays off and the results is a basket of stocks that is up 76.18% in less than three months. On Monday we released part one of our "Buyout Basket" (Buyout Basket Part I) which consists of companies that are likely acquisition candidates. Keynote Systems (KEYN) and Traffix (TRFX) are the first two stocks mentioned. We will be releasing the names of additional companies in this weekend's edition. It is a bit premature but the two are up 8.25% and 7.3% since our edition on Monday. This is not a bad way to start a basket. The Buzz At BlueFly Today, Bluefly (BFLY) finally broke out of its May high of $1.66 per share hitting an intraday high of $1.69. Shares are currently trading at $1.64 which is 56% higher than when we introduced the company to our readers in the very popular Billionaire & His Bluefly edition. Volume has been higher than normal and the stock has moved up nicely. We've received lots of emails from readers asking if George Soros will be funding the company anytime soon. We gave our prediction in a past edition (Bluefly Bursts To The Upside). This year the three Soros financing announcements were made on March 14, May 22, and July 17. We can estimate from this schedule that another press release could happen pretty soon.

Harris & Harris Group Reports Net Asset Value of $2.11 Per Share as of September 30, 2003 Wednesday October 15, 5:33 pm ET

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 15, 2003--Harris & Harris Group, Inc.
(NASDAQ/NMS SYMBOL: TINY - News) announced today that at September 30,
2003, its unaudited net asset value and net asset value per share (NAV) were
$24,225,912 and $2.11, respectively.

Valuations of venture capital deals remain subdued, and the pace of investment
by the venture capital industry as a whole has picked up only slightly from
depressed levels, despite the recovery in the stock market. There continue to be
ample venture capital investment opportunities in tiny technology. Although some
deals are oversubscribed, venture capital in general, including tiny technology,
remains, in our view, essentially a buyer's market. Because tiny technology
enables so many different applications, it is difficult to generalize about the field.
But in nanotechnology in particular, there is growing government and private
funding of research and development, and there are continual scientific,
technological and commercial developments. Notwithstanding all of this
constructive activity, we are unaware of any privately held tiny technology
companies that are currently preparing initial public offerings or that are
negotiating to be purchased by larger corporations.

Investor's Business Daily
Nanotechnology Could Play Big Role In Fighting Terror
Tuesday October 21, 10:21 am ET
           By Doug Tsuruoka

There's nothing like a father-son team.

Tech entrepreneur Dan Ratner got together with his scientist dad,Mark Ratner, to write "Nanotechnology and Homeland Security: New Weapons for New Wars," to be released this month by publisher Prentice Hall.

Mark Ratner is a noted nanotech researcher who pioneered using individual molecules as electronic circuits at Northwestern University. Dan Ratner helped run a car sales Web site and co-founded a networking company before age 30.

Their thesis is that nanotechnology, most simply defined as the science of building devices no bigger than a molecule, will play a big role in protecting the U.S. against terror attacks.

Dan Ratner recently spoke with IBD about the book's issues.

IBD: Will nanotech soon play a role in homeland security?

Ratner: Absolutely. Many nano devices are already being used. Others are no more than 10 years out.

The first thing on the list is a variety of sensors that can detect anything from explosives to bioterror agents. Currently, there are no fool-proof tests for detecting explosives. Many types of bombs terrorists use in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict can bypass (existing) tests.

IBD: How can nanotech help?

Ratner: It's possible to build nanotech sensors that can sense dangerous chemical and germ agents. These can be 100,000 times more accurate than other tests because they use molecular matching systems to identify substances.

IBD: Can you give examples?

Ratner: One nanotech sensor that already exists uses DNA as its sensing media. The device searches for "hostile" DNA carried by various biowar agents. You can make a library of all the strains of anthrax and smallpox and build it on a chip. You can do the same thing with molecules in order to sense chemical reactions to look for poisonous agents like nerve gas and sarin.

IBD: So you could have bio- or chemical-sensor chips?

Ratner: Yes. These chips also could be used to test for genetic factors that make someone susceptible to cancer. The government and many companies are already onto this stuff.

IBD: What are other areas where nanotech can be used for homeland security?

Ratner: The next area is materials. There are already nanotech-based fabrics on the market that can be worn like Kevlar (body armor) to protect first responders during a terror attack. The big difference is these fabrics are much stronger than Kevlar, by a factor of at least 10 or as high as 50.

IBD: How is such fabric made?

Ratner: They're stronger because they're engineered at the molecular scale. Rather than mix chemicals together to make fabric stronger, you build them from the bottom up, a molecule at a time, by using magnetic or other forces.

IBD: How can nanotech help after a terror attack has taken place?

Ratner: Nanotech can be used in decontamination agents. If an area is attacked with a bio or chemical weapon, the area is contaminated until you remove those agents. One of the neat things about nanoparticles is they are much more reactive than conventional products. They can do a much better job of absorbing or scrubbing an area of agents like sarin gas. There are already several products like this on the market that are based on nanoparticles.

IBD: How will nanotech change military technology?

Ratner: At this point, nanotech is primarily a defensive technology. Most applications involve defending our troops or making them more survivable, rather than making them attack more efficiently.

One way involves developing protective fabrics that shield troops against chemical, bio or other forms of attacks. The work focuses on developing what's called "dynamic smart materials." These are fabrics that can change almost instantly. A soldier could be wearing an open-weave uniform in desert camouflage colors. At the flick of a switch, the pores of the fabric close shut. The result is something similar to a rubber suit that seals out dangerous agents.

IBD: What will be some of the business impacts of using nanotech for homeland security and defense?

Ratner: Nanotech will have an enormous impact on world business, and we are just at the beginning of this. Spending on defense and energy alone is a $4 trillion annual industry, and nanotech will get a big piece of that.

IBD: What are the risks of using nanotech in homeland security?

Ratner: Using nanotech with computers will make it much easier to store and process personal information. This leaves open a door in abusing personal privacy and civil rights. Nanosensors cannot only detect your predilection to cancer, but they also can detect other medical conditions that could make you uninsurable.

IBD: How do you counter this?

Ratner: Adequate oversight by groups that monitor these technologies will be absolutely critical.
