WELLESLEY,--Randall E. Wise had it all. A Harvard M.B.A. A profitable computer software company. But he sold his firm to follow a dream, a dream that one day he would supply contact lenses to all the egg-laying chickens of the world.
The elder Wise's fledgling company folded. Wise went off to college, worked in the shipping industry for awhile and then founded a computer software firm in Boston eight years ago.
In particular, some scientists speculate that cold dark matter caused galaxies to form into the kind of bubbles Geller and Huchra have found. The process supposedly got under way 10 billion to 20 billion years ago, when the universe began with the Big Bang and the energy from that explosion...
With the advent of silicon gears, springs and cantilevers, machines will become smaller still. These miniature moving parts can be etched on silicon using a variation on the photolithographic technique used to make computer chips. To build a tiny rotating arm, for example, layers of polysilicon and a type of...
Unfortunately, there is a limit to how many transistors can be squeezed onto the surface of a chip. Thus the attraction of micromachines. They give engineers a way to shrink the moving parts of a device rather than trying to shrink its computer controls further. Some experts believe that within...
