Yes, Guilio. We have designed a scalable machine algorithm that will  
someday be capable of designing us. Designer proteins are right around  
the corner. This is a huge step toward nanosanta and grey goo both.  
And certainly worthy of a Nobel prize but in chemistry or possibly  
medicine depending on how long they wait before they award it.
