Subject: Nano-swimmers and cooling blankets

   Neither a desktop nanofactory nor glucose
oxidation can adequately explain how
untethered nanobots could operate at
cryogenic temperatures.

  On another subject, a UK funeral service
company is offering cooling blankets as
a quicker means of cooling and preserving
corpses, which Barry Albin's company is
considering incorporating into its core
business.

It would not be nearly as efficient as an ice bath
with circulating water, but it could be useful for
quick deployment in cryonics where an ice bath
would take longer to set up.
