Paul McEuen

The Future of SmallFor over half a century, the ever-shrinking integrated circuit has been the dominant driver of technological progress. The next 50 years promise even bigger changes as miniaturization and nanotechnology invade other areas of our lives, from healthcare to energy.  In this talk, McEuen will examine why small is so big and speculate how nano will change your life, both for good and for ill.  He will also take a detour into the world of fiction and discuss how a full-time scientist ends up moonlighting as a thriller writer.
