Nanotechnology: the Good, the Bad, the Hyperbole
pillageplunder writes "A very informative interview with Kristen Kulinowski who is an executive Director at the Federally funded Center for Biological and Environmental Nanotechnology at Rice University. A good well balanced read."
Nanotechology belongs in the same catagory as Astrology. They both predict the future...badly...and have no substance.
You brown-toothed Brit fucks sure do amuse me.
That is not a nice thing to say about George Bush!
when did i say anything about replication, or even infer it? why are you putting words in my mouth? theres really no need for credentials around here either, since you are not the only trained protein biochemist present in this discussion.
my point is this: while normally in nature one observes things to degrade, there are instances (where high symmetry is present) where things will self-assemble since the energy state after assembly is lower.
i was not talking about the nuclei acids replicating at all, quite the contrary, since (to repeat myself) the nuclei acids are usually not even needed.
nor is this the only example of self-assembly. there have been inorganic and organic chem rxns where self-assembly of archimedian solids take place.
