Guys - read the abstract of the Nature article:
(http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/ nature/journal/v414/n6862/abs/414430a0_fs.html).
It describes a very very basic step - not the Star Trek applications in the newspaper articles.
Mainstream science writers are even worse than computer ones so use a similar standard of skepticism you would for a Microsoft press release. With Google, there is no longer any excuse for blindly believing hack journalism...
It's not hard to make pretty drawing of things that can never be built. Can anyone name me just one invention that Lenny actually carried to fruition that worked? For that matter, can anyone name one theory , one discovery, one theorem, one miniscule contribution to science or philosophy that he made - other than speculating that seashells on mountainsides proved the biblical flood?
And no I don't like the Mona Lisa either...
