My thanks to Edgar W. Swank for pointing out, in CryoNet 11108, an 
MSNBC article on nanotech.  In my opinion, this is a good article on 
the exciting DNA-based work being done by Ned Seeman & company out 
in New York.  DNA machines are unimpressive from the viewpoint of 
mature nanotech, but since we don't *have* mature nanotech yet, it's 
very important to follow the work of guys like Dr. Seeman, who are 
actually *making* things.  Highly recommended.  As Mr. Swank pointed 
out, the article is at:

CryoNet readers may also wish to follow the links from this article 
to some other good nanotech material, including an interview by Bob 
Sullivan with longtime CryoNet member Ralph Merkle.  Ralph covers 
the basics of nanotech, mentions cryonics, and in my opinion delivers 
a pretty good RealVideo performance.  Also highly recommended.  

The main article is at:

What appears to be the full interview is at:
