What is femtobiology? We can figure out the literal femtobiology definition very easily, of course- femto from the Danish femten, meaning "fifteen", as in, a femtometer being 10-15 the size of a regular meter. Biology is from the Greek bios, meaning life, and logia, meaning "study of". So the definition of femtobiology is…continue reading →

The idea of an ultrashort pulse is one of the most interesting and developed new concepts in femtotechnology today. Generally, when we say "ultra-short pulse", we're talking about ultrashort pulse laser technology, but this term can encompass any area of the electromagnetic spectrum- and indeed, it's conceivable that there could…continue reading →

The Science of the Future

Welcome to Femtotechnology News- your source for updates and blog posts about all things femto. Femtoscience, below the realms of nanotechnology and picoscience, promises to have amazing new applications for chemistry, biology, electronics, manufacturing, and more. The strange laws of physics that make nanoscience so promising only get stranger at smaller scales. Time to start paying attention.

What will the technology of the next century look like? How much more powerful will our microscopes have to be? Can we as a society push past technical challenges and succeed in harnessing the massive power that femtotech can bring us? Only time will give us these answers.

Our Mission

My goal with Femtotechnology News is to create the world's first ever site dedicated to femtoscience. The revolution isn't here yet, but it's coming. "Femto" is being used as a buzzword by many companies and products right now, much like "atomic" was nearly one hundred years ago. Do any of these businesses actually fit in with the proposed femtotechnology timeline? I'm going to clear that up too.
