J. Storrs Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Storrs Hall is regarded as one of the most significant thinkers in the field of molecular nanotechnology. He founded the sci.nanotech Usenet newsgroup and moderated it for ten years. He has written several papers on nanotechnology and developed several ideas such as the Utility fog, the Space Pier and a novel flying car.
Dr. Hall is the author of Nanofuture: What's Next for Nonotechnology (ISBN 1-59102-287-8), chief scientist of Nanorex Inc., fellow of the Molecular Engineering Research Institute and Research Fellow of the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing.
Though he refers to himself as Josh or JoSH online, his name is not Josh Hall. Josh is a contraction.
Dr. Hall is something of a poet and has composed verse (concerning nanotechnology) in the style of Dr. Seuss ("How The Schmirk Stole Nanotechnology") and Clement Clarke Moore ("A Visit from Saint Assembler").
In 2006, the Foresight Nanotech Institute awarded Hall the Feynman Communication prize.[1]
