Built at the beginning of the Atomic Age, the cyclotron enabled scientists in the 1950s to look into the nuclei of atoms and learn more about the behavior of tiny particles. The machine was state-of-the-art when it was built but became obsolete within two decades...
...Harrison: Smallpox is a virus. It?s a naturally occurring disease that?s transmitted from person to person via "droplet nuclei," or saliva, somewhat analogous to chicken pox. It first evolved long, long ago and eventually became a major pathogen for humans...
...talked to who have lost children say it will never go away." Olga's parents cremated the child before thinking of the cloning option. All that remains are their memories, some strands of hair and three baby teeth, so they have begun investigating whether the teeth could yield the nuclei to clone her one day. While it is theoretically possible to extract DNA from the teeth, scientists say it is extremely unlikely...

...QUANTUM COMPUTER The darkest horse to emerge in this race is the quantum computer, sometimes dubbed the ultimate computer. The idea is to direct a laser or radio beam on a carefully arranged collection of atomic nuclei, each of which is spinning like a top. As the beam bounces off the atoms, it flips the spins of some of them. Complex computations can be performed by analyzing how the spins have been flipped...
