I guess there was a reason why the term "molecular manufacturing" was
coined. Apart from gratuitously mentioning buckytubes, the only
nanotechnology in Intel's news is use of nm instead of um to describe
structure sizes.
Still, it would be really nice to see large-scale single molecule
manipulation, even if it's just being used for die interfacing. Once such
capabilities exist this could become a gateway towards something more
interesting.
