SETI bioastro: Move Over Silicon Valley and Make Room For Carbon Valley

Hello Gang this just came in from another mailing list I belong to:

Prabhakar Bandaru lives a few hours from Silicon Valley. A few decades
 from now, chances are the place will be rechristened Carbon Valley.

               The materials engineering professor from the University
of California at
               San Diego (UCSD) may have a significant role to play in
the renaming.

               Last month, Bandaru and Apparao M Rao, a physicist at the
Clemenson
               University, announced to the world how they fabricated
the world's
               tiniest transistor made entirely of carbon nanotubes.

               To get a sense of how significant their work is, look
around. At the soul
               of the traffic signal your car crosses to the washing
machine that cleans
               your clothes and the computer this report was written on,
lie a few
               million transistors.

>From Silicon to Carbon Valley

Regards,
Alex
