Truly amazing!!!

"10 million can fit on the head of a pin"

"Schon's team used "conjugated molecules" made out of a broth of carbon, hydrogen and sulfur. The solution is poured from a beaker onto gold electrodes, and the transistors form by themselves"

wow!

by the way, this combined with carbon nano-tube technology is absolutely amazing. The local IEEE had an IBM speaker do a lecture on these technologies, and I was awestruck

thats amazing!
i always thought that the movie, "The Matrix" could actually exist in the world we live.

Imagine the web in 20 years. Instead of sitting in front of a computer and typing, you could literally hook yourself up to the web and walk through web pages!

Have u ever watched tron?

For some reason, the first thing that popped into my head was Dennis Quaid in 'Inner Space'.

Then I started thinking about the universal-fit clothes and shoes in 'Back to the Future 2'.

Of course, many other movies and novels have explored the potential for nanotechnology. The most obvious fictional application would be artificial intelligence...

Isn't it funny how fictional representations of the use of new technology never quite work in the real world?
