The cover story in the journal Science that came out yesterday (Jan 19
2018) is about a 25-nanometer-long robotic arm that can move things with
2.5 nanometer precise that is at least five orders of magnitude faster than
anything made before. The authors say in addition to constructing stuff the
arm could be used as mechanical memory just as in Babbage’s 19th century
Analytical Engine, only about a billion times smaller.
