Nanotechnology

[Davidcv67]

Did anyone catch the article in the 'Parade' Sunday magizine in the newspaper on 'Nanotechnology'? Scary but promising for future sickies like us.

If you didnt it is about a technology of self replicating, man made machines, that are 1000 times smaller than a human hair; It is a made made 'virus , so-to-speak'; "Tiny Repborts that can crawl through your arteries cutting away atherosclerotic plaque"...Amoung other things. The authors name is Michael Richton. He has a novel out called 'Prey'. I am going to get it...it sounds fascinating to me.

Sounds like the "nanites" from Star Trek Next Generation a few years back?
