Having been accused of being a nanobrain myself, I initially took offense… Seriously, this article suggests some very interesting developments—one could use this concept to control a MEMS device that could interact with molecules chemically, but could be controlled both in terms of movement and chemical interactivity, sort of like Fantastic Voyage without Raquel Welch… [...]

The current issue of Popular Mechanics has an interesting, if not wholly credible, mea culpa by the CIA. Apparently, they were not telling the truth all along but now are coming fully clean. Right. Someone at the CIA’s department of public interactions figures we will really believe them when they give us an honest, double-dog [...]
