Scientists create mini machines out of DNA

Post by TheKing » Sun Aug 16, 2009 12:46 am

In the latest phase of the nanotechnology revolution, scientists have built a collection of minuscule objects from DNA, including toothed gears, curved tubes, and a wireframe beach ball five millionths of a centimetre in diameter.

a nano helix is in fact the holy grail of micro architecture. I hope to see some ridiculously strong materials once implemented on a industrial scale.

read the article rat. one part of this project is to make medical machines that work inside cells. of making these gears is to make nanomachines. They want to create machines that assemble themselves inside people to perform procedures.

Secondly, this project is with "nanomachines" which means that these machines will be 1/1000 the size of a "micromachine"

I want to go to prison for like 15 years just so I can come out and have my mind blown. With all this crazy technology crap constantly happening below the radar it's easy to become numb to it and not really realize how much crazy bologna is being invented that wont be released to the public for a long time.

But to just come out and see all this new shit around all at once. That would be awesome. Anybody wanna let me stab them in the jaw or something

Micromachines , specifically medical ones, is like my dream job. Unfortunately, the guy I worked with inside the nanotech dept. moved away, so no in there anymore.

For my handling of the situation at Tombstone, I have no regrets. Were it to be done again, I would do it exactly as I did it at the time.
