Øye, the Paul Simon of the pair, sings in a slightly accented baritone about girls he?...
...group of researchers in the lab of chemistry professor Charles M. Lieber have found a way to synthesize two- and three-dimensional versions of the microscopic strands known as nanowires—a breakthrough that researchers say may greatly increase the reach and applicability of the field by allowing scientists to design vastly more complex structures...
Tian’s method hinges on the introduction of bends known as “kinks” into the previously linear structure of the nanowire. He told The Crimson this week that his discovery was inspired by what he saw in nature—both the “kinks” in organic molecules that give them specific geometries and the crystalline structure of many minerals...

Such a plan could be proposed in Obama’s next budget, although he could make known his intention to propose it when he announces the surge.
