PALO ALTO, CALIF. — Hewlett-Packard researchers have proposed a fundamental rethinking of the modern computer for the coming era of nanoelectronics — a marriage of memory and computing power that could drastically limit the energy used by computers. Today, the microprocessor is in the centre of the computing universe, and information is moved, at heavy energy cost, first to be ... Read More »

Nanotechnology and Surgery: A Surgeon’s Perspective
Nanotechnology is the material science of objects under 100 nm in size. Over the last decade, we have come to realize that the oldest nanotechnologist alive is Mother Nature- a five billion year-old expert, who has found optimal molecular pathways to solve problems of energy (plant “solar cells” through photosynthesis, or mitochondria synthesis), hardness and elasticity (Google “nanomechanics of spider silk”), ...
