NASA Supporting Nanotech Development

It doesn't come easy writes "In laboratories around the country, NASA is supporting the burgeoning science of nanotechnology. The basic idea is to learn to deal with matter at the atomic scale -- to be able to control individual atoms and molecules well enough to design molecule-size machines, advanced electronics and "smart" materials."

      What do you expect from the geek equivalent of tabloid news?

  3. "Smart" Materials? by 10101001011 · · Score: -1, Troll

    What makes "smart" materials so smart? Are they given some form of IQ test to distinguish the "smart" materials from the "average" materials, or even worse, "the under-developed, less advanataged" materials? I know NASA only employs the top minds in America, but honestly I find this trend of catering to the "smart" things and turning the country's collective nose up at the disadvantaged to be a disturbing trend and I urge this country to think of the consequences of only caring about intelligence. We will breed terrorists, scholars, pedophiles, criminals and -- dare I say it -- Democrats!
