<< If memory serves, the first hurdle is that eventually, gates will need to be triggered by less than one electron. >> Is that the FIRST hurdle? I doubt it. If memory serves ME correctly, kidneys and such use a transport mechanism that depends on the ionization of Na or K. The computer business has been here for 50 years. The creation of animals has been here for 50 skillion (designed by a REAL expert, so they say.) I think we're doing a great job, but getting down to a single electron is probably a few hurdles down the road <GG>. -Alan Oh, you said LESS than 1 electron!!! Now that's ambitious. What'll it be, a pi meson? The Universal Will To Become?
