The Nanopowers of Spinach

Roland Piquepaille writes "Ohio University physicists have used a simple molecule of chlorophyll taken from spinach to develop a complex nanobiological switch. They used a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to image chlorophyll-a and then injected it with a single electron to manipulate the molecule into four positions. The researchers say this biological switch might be used in future applications for green energy, technology and medicine. Read more for additional pictures and references about this spinach-based biological switch."

AMEN... they give this shitcock free blog traffic about once a week, and all he does is plaigarize other peoples' blogs. The really sad thing is, despite the fact that the community has spoken LOUDLY to say we don't want this fucker's advertisements, not only do the editors keep approving them, but the moderators fight over whether to mod you insightful or troll.
