It reminded me very much of the stuff being done with molecular motors that was reported at the last technical conference. It will be very interesting to see if the molecular biology folks can take things from proof of concept (we made it wiggle on a slab under a microscope) to a marketable technology. As anyone who has tried to move from a pure R(esearch) project to a more D(evelopment) oriented project, this is no small task. I'm still placing my bets on the semiconductor/MEMS industry as the front runners for nanoscale manipulators. The mol.bio. people have been way too optimistic about the relative pace of biotech advancement vs. semitech advancement. For instance, a research chemist for DuPont told me in ~1985 that DNA-based computing was "imminent". Meanwhile, 15 years later DNA computing is still a "hot research topic" while Moore's law continued unabated in silicon. - - To unsubscribe from associates, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe associates" in the body of the message.

Interesting. They claim to have lined up the nanotubes to guide electrons to the display surface. Has anyone from electrovac been in touch with foresight? Chris? - - To unsubscribe from associates, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe associates" in the body of the message.
