Few scientists acquainted with the chemistry of biological systems at the molecular level can avoid being inspired.

I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things.

Biological engineering is not necessarily understanding systems but rather, I want to be able to design and build biological systems to perform particular applications.
A molecular manufacturing technology will let us build molecular surgical tools, and those tools will, for the first time, let us directly address the problems at the very root level.

However, it required some years before the scientific community in general accepted that flexibility and disorder are very relevant molecular properties also in other systems.

You can find academic and industrial groups doing some relevant work, but there isn't a focus on building complex molecular systems. In that respect, Japan is first, Europe is second, and we're third.

Industrial opportunities are going to stem more from the biological sciences than from chemistry and physics. I see biology as being the greatest area of scientific breakthroughs in the next generation.

Humanity Redefined: Part 4 (The Omega)
Though greed was responsible for
The invasion, greed would also be
The fuel for humanity’s survival.
Harvey Trenton Smith-
Though singlehandedly causing the invasion,
He would be the key to ending it.
A molecular dismantling ray,
Possessing such unequivocal potency
Nothing could escape disintegration.
With help from the world’s governments,
The device was mass produced.
One last chance to ward off the Xeno-Creatures
A force field suddenly encompassed Earth
The Xeno-Creatures activated a dimensional rift
The inexplicable energy radiated in space.
The molecular dismantling beams
Collided with the dimensional portal,
Corrupting it and distorting its polarity.
The following reaction instantaneously
Obliterated any particles within the
Surrounding solar systems.
This is The Omega.

I think that the people that say we will never develop computer intelligence — they merely prove that some biological systems don't have much intelligence.

Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.

Disease and ill health are caused largely by damage at the molecular and cellular level, yet today's surgical tools are too large to deal with that kind of problem.

The behavioral and cognitive disciplines are leading the way to a more valid framework for all science. Although the theoretic changes make little difference in physics, chemistry, molecular biology, and so on, they are crucial for the behavioral, social, and human sciences. They don't change the analytic, reductive methodology, just the interpretations and conclusions.

A mathematical conjecture
A mathematical conjecture
or An ode to Vladimir Tonchev
Is when quasi-symmetric designs
Reach two stage disjunctive testing
Upon subtracting the discrete numbers.
They form systems of sets
And cyclotomy of self orthogonal
Codal length.
Now, I know this means little
For those with a cerebral weakness
For unevenly distributed sets of digits
However, were you faintly acquainted
With algorithms solving for optimal
Difference systems of sets
and line spreads you’d be avoiding
such conflict of codes of length
in finite geometries.

But the prospects of designing chemical plants for industrial scale chemical processes seemed far less interesting than the chemical events that occur in biological systems.
