- ph0rque 17y agoWow... this is something I would be very interested in. Too bad the site has very little content.
- Kilimanjaro 17y agoNanotech is the future, the distant future, but a very bright and interesting time to live in. Besides all the new nano-materials, I am interested in nano-food production. Remember the food pills? something like that. World hunger would be over. And before someone jumps in to say it would taste like plastic food, I say, what would stop us from adding the best flavors in the world to the nano-pills?
- Kilimanjaro 17y agoAfter thought: If we can produce food in a factory from its basics atoms, like we process gasoline today in refineries, I guess all farms in the world would be useless so we could recover all that land for human living.
- memetichazard 17y agoI'm sure there will always be people who distrust nanofood or otherwise are willing to pay a premium for organically grown food.
- lzimm 17y agothere was something similar to this for synthetic biology too, though it was much further along with a complete sdk to do basic, ummm, synthesis? does anyone know what it was? regardless, this is dope.
- pook 17y agoDo you mean OpenWetWare? http://openwetware.org/wiki/Main_Page http://openwetware.org/wiki/Main_Page
- lzimm 17y agonah, that's the only one i can pull up whenever i go hunting, its frustrating because i can't even remember what was really differentiating about it, i just remember thinking "wow, this is gonna be friggen awesome... once i learn biology" ah well.
- streety 17y agoPossibly BioBricks and the parts registry: http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page http://partsregistry.org/Main_Page Or iGEM: http://2010.igem.org/Main_Page http://2010.igem.org/Main_Page If neither of them perhaps DIYBio could point you in the right direction: http://diybio.org/ http://diybio.org/
- lzimm 17y agowow, thanks dude, diybio looks like an awesome little community, some interesting looking projects too
- streety 17y agoAt the moment the focus seems to be mainly educational and artistic. It looks like they're struggling getting more research type projects going but there is certainly a lot of potential in the community which I hope will lead to good things. You may already be aware of it but if you're interested in biology/medicine you might want to take a look at http://hackermed.com/ http://hackermed.com/ as well which kyro is trying to get going. Only just started so users and content are lacking but again hopefully good things will come from it.
