Huth is currently attempting a high precision measurement of the sixth or "top" quark, thought to be the last undiscovered part of the atom...
Both Franklin and Huth are involved in research on the sixth or "top" quark and the w particle. The sixth quark is believed to be the last undiscovered part of the atom...
...21st century it will be possible to play Ping-Pong (or any other sport) with phantasms that look and talk like the celebrity of your choice. And that's just the beginning. Someday, says visionary engineer K. Eric Drexler, molecular-size machines will be able to assemble objects one atom at a time. Using this method, they could manufacture everything from prefabricated skyscrapers to computers small enough to fit inside a living cell...
...even some of the best-informed men and women simply cannot bring their imagination to accept certain possibilities. In 1901, two years before they took off from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Wilbur Wright told his brother Orville that man would not fly for 50 years. Not long before the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Admiral William Leahy advised President Harry Truman, "That is the biggest fool thing we have ever done . . . the bomb will never...
Robot probes no bigger than bacteria will eventually be possible. According to K. Eric Drexler, author of Engines of Creation, they will use nanotechnology to assemble devices atom by atom or molecule by molecule. His colleagues have already made motors smaller in diameter than a human hair. Drexler believes a bundle of nanorobots, weighing practically nothing, would be the perfect interstellar emissaries. Having arrived at a planet or asteroid around some distant star, perhaps in a solar sailship pushed to high speeds by a powerful laser beam from earth, they would go to work, antlike, building radio transmitters and other...
