Went to hear a lecture about nano technology today at collage and i found it really amusing

they were on about how nano technology may be able to make memories for computers which 1 cm(squared) of silicone can store 1.2 terabytes of information :eek:

apparenlty by the year 2017 nano technology products will make about 1.7 trillion pounds :rolleyes:

so thats my future sorted. im gonna become a nano technician

.

this lectures changed my mind

There was an interesting story today on the BBC about nanotechnology being used to repair damaged nerve fibres and restoring sight in hamsters.

possibilities are endless with nano tech... :eek:

iv seen a group of people make a new part of the brain for a mouse so that they can controll from a computer.
will look for info on web

i thought the fact that its possible to make 1cm (squared) of something can save 1.2 terrabyte was exciting. And thats by using SELF aligning atoms or something.
