• “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. Despite being written in 1986, its forecasts are still largely accurate.  It should be your first book.
• For scientists, a good book is Nanosystems.
• Foresight Institute – The non-profit organization that has been leading efforts to inform the public about nanotechnology and its implications.
• 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.
• Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology Molecular and Electronic Nanostructures Main Research Theme Page. An example of the multidisciplinary centers that are being built on many campuses to enable cross-disciplinary work in fields like nanotechnology.
