What he calls for at 03:25, i.e. 3D molecular structures, has now been achieved just a couple of days ago. He said it would take "a few years" in this video, but it took only one year! Search for "3D molecular structures built on a surface for first time" and Gizmag has an article on it.

Thank you for posting.

@MinotawrTV philosophy/laws are superstitious??? Iniquited fool!!! the human race is dumbfounded by your understandment of moral truth.

[MinotawrTV]

@1billion1deaths1 I haven't said anything that would require that kind of copy+pasted quasi-intellectual response. All I said was shut up. Which you must, as you're talking superstitious shit.

[1billion1deaths1]

@MinotawrTV Do u really believe the human race would of survived ages with animal reasoning like yours instead of higher reasoning of understanding too hard for the likes of you to understand?

[MinotawrTV]

@1billion1deaths1 What? Shut up. This isn't the place for your bullshit.

[1billion1deaths1]

@MinotawrTV dont be mad your understanding of equality is lame. If u believe in morality u believe in laws founded by religiouin and Idea. If u believe in animal origins survive to fit,,dont cowar under human philosophy of god.

@1billion1deaths1 Shut it christ fag.

@kasuskasus thanks!

@steezmonster92 Hey, Steez. Regarding Gizmag, I read their articles every day. I think it's a good source for techy news! Yet, if you're writing a research paper on this, you should probably check out the journal Nature Chemistry, where the work on 3D nano structures was originally published. Peace!

[steezmonster92]

@kasuskasus thanks for this! almost included obsolete information in my research paper... is Gizmag a reliable source? never heard of them...

I just hope the future with nanotech becomes something more than just another retail opportunity with technology. It has far more applications than that.
