Nanotechnology's future
Article Abstract:
Nanotechnology can be viewed as the application of quantum theory and other nano-specific phenomena to fundamentally control the properties and behavior of matter as it is evolving through four overlapping stages of industrial prototyping and early commercialization. It is reported through investment in nanotech research and development by governments increased from $432 million in 1997 to about $4.1 billion in 2005 and is expected to cross $1 trillion by 2015.

G proteins
Article Abstract:
G proteins were identified in the 1970s as links that signal the transference of genetic material from one cell to another. Continuing research will help find how they respond in relation to other receptors and effectors. The research will enhance drug therapy development.
