I'm amazed at what can be done already at the atomic level.
   Growing up, this was a dream. Saw my first picture of the
   surface of molecules as a teenager and couldn't believe how
   close reality looks to those line and circle drawings they use
   in textbooks. Then seeing individual atoms - - NOW moving the
   bonds with a skinny needle? We probably won't NEED quantum
   computers - do it at the atomic le...vel, build circuits out of
   atoms. They'd have to do better than moving them with a needle,
   of course - imagine millions of mechanical needles moving atomic
   bonds - it wouldn't be worth it - but that it can be DONE at all
   shows great promise for the future of computing. - yes, graphene
   is amazing stuff - love the work with carbon nanotubes and the
   like. Soon you'll see a kids "Grow your own nanotubes" kit for
   $9.95 just like the "grow your own crystals... "
