Comments on: U.S. Dept of Energy calls for artificial molecular machines http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2008 examining transformative technology Wed, 03 Apr 2013 18:23:47 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.4 By: Novak http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2008#comment-5669 Novak Wed, 31 Aug 2005 17:02:10 +0000 http://www.foresight.org/nanodot/?p=2008#comment-5669 I'm sure no one is reading the comments this far down in the list, at such a far-removed date from the basenote's original publication, but, I took the time read this report in some fair detail. Not being a chemist, it took considerable effort, but I thought it was worth it. I found the report to be very interesting, filled not only with scientific analysis, but with enough engineering/economic analyses that I could take seriously the prospect of solar energy being a substantial contribution to an advanced industrial economy... once a number of severe technical hurdles are overcome.
