...warplanes and artillery. The Americans dropped some 1,500 cluster bombs, which are continuing their deadly work among innocents all over Iraq.

If these mundane marvels are not impressive enough, researchers will soon bring us toothpaste that coats, protects and repairs damaged enamel, as well as self-cleaning shoes that never need polishing. Nanotech may also lead to dramatic advances in energy production, defense technology and health care. No one is suggesting...
