DISEASE DIAGNOSTICS
One-step point-of-care-diagnostic
test, requires a pinhead amount of
blood to test for hundreds of
diseases, viruses and bacterias,
such as heart disease, breast
cancer and the Swine Flu

18. FUTURE CHIPS
Understanding the charge
distribution at the atomic scale is
essential for building smaller,
faster and more energy-efficient
computing components

19. FUTURE STORAGE
Ultra sharp, diamond-like
carbon tip 3,000 times
more wear-resistant at
the nanoscale than silicon
has implications for
atomic imaging, probe-
based data storage 1 μm

FUTURE MANUFACTURING
A new technique that uses a tiny,
silicon tip to create patterns and
structures as small as 15
nanometers at greatly reduced
2 μm cost and complexity
