PAUL BURROWS: <\/b><em>When Intel or AMD or Texas Instruments make their most complex chips now, they start from a lump of silicon.  It\u2019s a lump of rock.  The tools have changed.  We don\u2019t bang away at the rocks and chip bits off them anymore.      And the products have changed from axe heads and arrowheads to microprocessors and very advanced technology.       Where we are  is what I sometimes characterize as the micro stone age.  We\u2019re doing everything smaller, cleaner  and more expensively.   But the first revolution  is when we take that step of designing the functionality that we want into the molecule and then making it build up.    And that for me is at the heart of nanotechnology <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThat was Dr. Paul Burrows.\n<\/p>\n<p> <em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Alberta Ingenuity.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER<\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.albertaingenuity.ca\">Alberta Ingenuity<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Established in 2000, the Alberta Ingenuity Fund supports science and engineering research of the highest calibre, to create a prosperous future for the province of Alberta.
