Last night I was discussing Self-Assembly with a friend of mine, who is working on Magnetic Logic Processor these days. He was busy writing n optimizing a Genetic Algorithm for self wiring in MRAM’s using magnetoresistance.

Inspired by nature we often tend to model the building blocks of any sophisticated technology. One can compare a wheel with a new leg, machine with a more efficient hand, a proposed theory of Neural Nets trying to simulate a human brain. A robotic vision somewat is trying to cope up with recognising objects. What more is left to explore ? Scientists never say die, the passion, the search is on. One of my friend, a researcher is dealing with organisation of nanoparticles to find ways to assemble in specific shapes, sizes or orientations. Earlier it was dealt in terms relating to viruses and proteins, polymers, molecules, semiconductors n metals. These days researchers are looking out for efficient ways to make microscopic machines, and faster n efficient electronics(say MRAM) which is based on Self-Assembly in hopes of putting things together with natural ease.

Introducing nanotechnology to future chip manufacturing, organizing key issues n putting them in context effieciently explains how the technologies copulate. The idea itself excites me. The future is gonna be great. What do u think ???
