Is this a scientific advance or a technological one though? Academia doesn't have the capital like industry or government to implement the latter. In America it's small small groups of young students led by a professor. Not full grown PhDs with Google levels of staff and money.

- dwheeler 6y agoI would claim that this is a technological advance that is likely to lead to many scientific advances. Perhaps a good analogy are the inventions of the microscope and telescope. They were advances in technology, which then led to advances in science. I don't know if this will have the same effect as the microscope and telescope, but it would be great if it did. It certainly seems extremely promising.
