Researchers have developed a process to create wires only 50 nanometers. The smaller fibers will allow devices to transmit more information while using less space and thus have immediate applications in nano-technology.
Apparently the scientist is an excellent teacher and so this article mentions: One researcher I met at a Physics Frontiers center was able to successfully transition from plasma physics graduate research in Mazur’s lab to a post-doctoral project on experimental neuroscience….. What good is a scientific breakthrough if one cannot convince the public, let alone another scientist of its value?
The much hue and cry over the ethics of using embryonic stem cells may come to an end. This research maybe the seed for humans to acquire the legendary regenerative capacity of the starfish or the salamander. It may sound outlandish but remember that 100 years back human flight seemed the same.
