AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the ongoing debate regarding the development of nanotechnology, particularly in light of Prince Charles's campaign against it. There is a consensus among participants that while the advancement of nanotechnology is essential for human progress, it necessitates stringent controls due to its potential risks. Concerns are raised about the manipulation of atoms, given their size and the limitations of current technology to observe and interact with them effectively. The conversation highlights the excitement surrounding the possibilities of nanotechnology alongside the need for careful regulation to mitigate threats.

With the news that Prince Charles is campaining against it this week I want to hear your views (although since most of you are scientists I think you'll be for it). Just for the record I am looking forward to the nanotechnological revolution.

Both. Development must be continued for the good of the human race, but strong controls MUST be enforced over such a powerful technology. We are still far from that point, but the potential threat is large.

How do/will scientists be able to minipulate the atoms, as we are unable to see them, as they are smaller than the frequency of light. Even if we could, we cannot push them, as we don't have anything small enough to do so. Any help? Thanks.

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
