Quantum Biology
Developments in our understanding of quantum effects in biological systems require a combination of quantum physics and moleclar biology. For instance, actomyosin vessicle transport systems appear to exibit the quantum coherence and entanglement necessary for quantum computation within a single neuron.


Alchemy, The Next Generation
Long ago, the alchemists sought to transform the structure of matter by rearranging its fundamental elements. Nanotechnology seeks to do just that, but is based on a more modern model of matter. Only time will tell which dreams will be realized and which will reach the same fate as the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life.


Molecular Electronics
With our increasing understanding of electron transfers within and between individual molecules, it may only be a matter of time before a lucky researcher discovers the right parameters to cheaply integrate moles of addressable molecular circuits.

Nanotech images resulting from: scanning probe, electron or optical microscopy; molecular modeling; artistic renditions; and other nano-activities.


Introduction to Nanotechnology
The nanoscale marks the nebulous boundary between the classical and quantum mechanical worlds; thus, realization of nanotechnology promises to bring revolutionary capabilities. Fabrication of nanomachines, nanoelectronics and other nanodevices will undoubtedly solve an enormous amount of the problems faced by mankind today.
