Dec. 6, 2002 - At
Alcor's fifth annual
Conference on Extreme Life Extension here recently,
two well-known scientists presented their visions for the far-out
future of nanotechnology.
Ralph Merkle and Robert Freitas of Zyvex Corp., a nanotechnology and MEMS research and development company in Richardson, Texas, asked the 200 or so conference attendees to imagine a time in the coming decades when doctors will routinely inject billions of nanosized robots into patients' bodies.
