...only seven years ago, at what is now the Army's Harry Diamond Laboratories in Washington, scientists are fast catching up with electronic technology. They have already produced fluidic oscillators, memory and logic circuits, and have devised fluid versions of resistors and capacitors. They have also learned to etch fluid channels into small blocks of metal and plastic, producing fluidic versions of electronic integrated circuits [TIME, Sept. 2].
