living machines...if we build 'em small enough, there will be more room on Earth...just gotta adapt to thinking smaller...more inward...
can't wait for the first microscopic toaster...and the micro snacks it will provide...
balderdash!

I don't think it's the smallest soccer ball, you might check the buckminster fullerene

wow,i think tis would make a great breakthrough imagining a DNA that is found on living things used in 3D structures.So, it means things artificially made could contain DNA too?

WOW - I've been paying attention to Buckyballs since they were discovered. Bio-buckyballs will be amazing, I'm sure.I hope some real thought goes into their uses.

I really don't think we've begun to tap the possibilities found in 'life' and live things. We've focused on manipulating inanimate objects for so long. I look forward to see what can be done with living things.

Many some days we will not take a pill, but will take a capsule with something living in it (maybe blood cells) that will heal the problem instead of mask the symptoms.

I've always wondered if this was the way forward for artificial intelligence. Why use silicon, when real brain will do?
