George Smith berated cryonet ignorati: < Many Cryonet posters have asked me for references on the molecular computer breakthrough. [...] Here is a CNN link I plucked off Yahoo in about 30 seconds: http://cnn.com/TECH/computing/9907/20/molecular.idg/ Hope that helps. > Here's a suggestion, Mr Smith: instead of repeating the (erroneous and empty) calendrical mantra `July 20', put some content into your claim. For example, you might refer usefully to `the paper on molecular-based logic gates in the July 16 issue of *Science* '. Perhaps you might even add that it reports on UCLA/Hewlett Packard research by chemistry professor James R. Heath, et al., using rotaxanes as molecular switches in an innovative architecture. A more useful, but still simplified, report is at http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/1999/07/990719082047.htm Damien Broderick Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=12778
