Reason I ask, is I&#39;m interested in micro-manufacturing as I go to school for my BSEE, and one of the big hitches for micro-manufacturing is computers--You cannot make a microchip easily in a garage or even a small factory environment. Diamond chips would potentially remove the need for hard-to-make silicon wafers, but that does me little good if diamonds still need massive factorys to make.Lorenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14843550881990596267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17555522.post-91647332420561233252008-07-07T10:14:00.000-07:002008-07-07T10:14:00.000-07:00As an acronym/abreviation, MNT competes enough in my mindspace with "Mountain" and "a directory for a temporarily mounted file system" that the first citation should be expanded, viz., MNT (molecular nano-technology).nkonyamanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11942584540569812122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17555522.post-1150143366353121862006-06-12T13:16:00.000-07:002006-06-12T13:16:00.000-07:00I just got an Apollo synthetic diamond and <A HREF="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jurvetson/156830367" REL="nofollow"/>.<BR/><BR/>While <A HREF="http://jurvetson.blogspot.com/2004/09/transcending-moores-law-with-molecular.html" REL="nofollow">molecular electronics is the future</A>, in the near term, I think <A HREF="http://jurvetson.blogspot.com/2005/01/thanks-for-memory.html" REL="nofollow">Moore's Law will bifurcate</A> into memory (innovating faster) and logic.Steve Jurvetsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13291728347982248734noreply@blogger.com
