to swallow. I realize a lot of you have a hard time getting your mind to wrap around nanotechnology, but it is quite easy, as it is so small. Of course that which it can do is huge! www.i-sis.org.uk/nanotechnology.php

Nanomachines in microbes? "'We spend a lot of time making tiny little nanowires and things of that sort, and then we try to direct them in place, but it is very hard,' says Hamers. 'However, bacteria and other biological systems can be thought of as nature's nanowires that can be easily grown and manipulated.' lllllllllllllllllll "'You could even engineer bacteria to have different surface molecules that you could capitalize on,' says Beck. For instance, it may be possible, the Wisconsin scientists say, to attach microscopic gold particles to the shell of the bacterium, making it more like a nanoscale gold wire. " "The work by Hamers' group was funded by the National Science Foundation. The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, a private, nonprofit organization that manages UW-Madison intellectual property, has applied for patents for the technology." www.physlink.com/News/032505NanoMicrobes.cfmskytroll
