Behind Google X's secretive nanoparticle project.
« on: November 24, 2014, 09:40:16 AM »
When the Internet impresarios at Google speak, the world listens. So the usual hoopla ensued last month when Google announced its latest ambition: to develop nanoparticle diagnostics paired with a wearable detector. One interview even brought up the tricorder, the fictional diagnostic device from “Star Trek.”

I like how most people in the scientific community have never heard of this project.

Google's Vision? Lol, scientists have been working on nanoparticle-based diagnostic disease probes for the last decade.

I like how its months earlier than Google's usual April Fools Joke.  Keep raising that bar there, Google.

Not very successfully though?

Remember, people had been working on machine vision for decades but it needed Google to come in and get that self driving car project really take off?
