"CLAYTONICS is an abstract future concept that combines nanoscale robotics and computer science to create individual nanometer-scale computers called claytronic atoms, or catoms, which can interact with each other to form tangible 3D objects that a user can interact with. This idea is more broadly referred to as programmable matter." http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claytronics View in LinkedIn

FLIPPASES. "Phospholipid flip-flop is required for bilayer assembly and the maintenance of biogenic (self-synthesizing) membranes such as the eukaryotic endoplasmic reticulum and the bacterial cytoplasmic membrane. Due to the membrane topology of phospholipid biosynthesis, newly synthesized phospholipids are initially located in the cytoplasmic leaflet of biogenic membranes and must be translocated to the exoplasmic leaflet to give uniform bilayer growth." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15809683 View in LinkedIn

"CLAYTRONICS is one instance of programmable matter, a system which can be used to realize 3D dynamic object in the physical world." https://lnkd.in/dzdjcqu View in LinkedIn

DYNAMIC MEMBRANES. "The cell membrane is not a static barrier. It's always moving, its thickness fluctuating and waves rippling through it ... Some theories indicate that if a protein is near the interior of the membrane when it is moving in just the right way, this movement might allow the protein to work its way in somehow." https://lnkd.in/e2sriga View in LinkedIn

CLAYTRONICS is still at an early stage of development. It has more hope and dream than actualization, but that in no way diminishes its truly dramatic possibilities. The science is progressing steadily but for sure it will take a while. Enjoy the dream. View in LinkedIn

YOUNG'S MODULUS of animal cells is 100 pa to 0.1 MPa. In nano dimensions these are highly significant. https://lnkd.in/eXqT-Hc View in LinkedIn

CLAYTONICS AND MORE is the subject of the next big theme in this blog. It is an emerging field of programmable inate matter that is truly remarkable. When programmable inert matter combines at a future date with programmable life, and synthetic biology, the world will become a different place. View in LinkedIn

THIS TOBACCO THEME is now at a close, along with, at least for now, the topic of sugar. For those who stayed the course, thank you. For those who found it too much, apologies. It is a remarkable piece of modern history that is emblematic of the way we treat poisons as a society. Next, we move into the wild and wonderful world of CLAYTRONICS. View in LinkedIn

WHO'S SUGAR WARNING INITIATIVE. "In 2006, the United Nation's World Health Organization (WHO) released similar food recommendations and then Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Tommy G. Thompson actually flew to Geneva, according to Fed Up, to threaten WHO that if the guidelines stood, the U.S. would withdraw its WHO financial support. Again, Big Food won." https://lnkd.in/eTjhfXc View in LinkedIn

HIJACKED ANCESTRAL BIOLOGY. “People can’t manage their behavior and their eating because their taste buds and their biology have been hijacked by processed, hyper-palatable, high glucose, high sugar foods that drive their hormones and neurotransmitters to make them eat more.” https://lnkd.in/eCjE_4M View in LinkedIn
