![Nano /Micro Technology: Molecular bearing. Computer scientist Ralph Merkle models a molecular bearing designed on a computer. Merkle is head of Computational Nanotechnology at Xerox Parc (Palo Alto Research Center) in California, USA. Using desktop simulations he builds tiny machines atom by atom, such as this frictionless bearing, which would be too small to see even with the world's most powerful microscope. Although still on the frontiers of science, nanotechnology could one day lead to a host of revolutionary miniature inventions, such as microscopic Nan robots that patrol the human body in search of cancer tumors. Model Released [1995]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000m436a.jAyC0/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000m436a.jAyC0.jpg)

![Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a mite (Acarimetaseiulus occidentalis) on the surface of a silicon micro-resonator 'chip'. The micro- resonator, or 'semaphore structure', is a product of micromechanics. Micro-resonators are use to make tiny vibration sensors for engineering use. The comb-like detector ends of the micro- resonators are seen here, a thin strand of silicon running from the left detector toward top left is attached to a large resonant mass. The absence of a resonant mass fixed to the right detector indicates a fault in manufacture. To give an idea of scale, the silicon strand is 2 microns thick and 2 microns wide. Reid Brennan's semaphore structure with mite. [1990]](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000DkBw0Qlh1EI/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000DkBw0Qlh1EI.jpg)
![Nano / Micro Technology: Eric Drexler. Portrait of US nanotechnologist and author Eric Drexler. He is seated in front of a computer simulation of a diamondoid molecular bearing model of a robot he designed. This nanotechnology robot is so tiny it is made up of a precise number of atoms (orange and grey spheres). Although still on the frontiers of science, a robot like this may one day assemble molecules one-by-one, eat up pollutants, function as computers the size of a virus, or patrol the human body in search of cancer tumors. Eric Drexler developed the concept of nanotechnology in his books The Engines of Creation and Nanosystems.

![Micro Technology: Micromechanics: Light micrograph of the detector 'teeth' of a micro-resonator. This is a tiny mechanical resonating structure, made by the same silicon deposition process used in the manufacture of microcircuits. The 'teeth' seen here detect the motion of the resonator, the central buff-colored object. The dark vertical lines running above and below the resonator are the strands of silicon connecting the sensor to the resonant masses. The strands are only two microns thick, but at this scale silicon has a greater mechanical strength than steel. Micro-resonators have a variety of uses in detecting very small amplitude motions.

![Micro Technology: Steve Jacobsen, at the University of Utah's micromechanics laboratory with the undressed frame of a Disneyland robot. He is holding a silicon wafer in his left hand; This contains many micro motors and micro-actuators that could soon revolutionize robot design. Micromechanic devices, like silicon microcircuits, operate with static electrical charges, and so would require only one power cable, replacing the 200 that he is holding in his right hand.

![Ermelinda Ayme wraps her baby in two shawls tied in different directions as she cultivates potatoes with her husband Orlando in their village of Tingo, central Andes, Ecuador. (From the book Hungry Planet; What the World Eats (p. 117) Ermelinda Ayme is also one of the 80 people featured with one day's food in the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets.) When she and her husband Orlando arrived at the field, a ten-minute walk from their home, they said a quick prayer to Pacha Mama (Mother Earth) before working the land. Occasionally, Ermelinda has to adjust the baby's position, but generally she has no problem carrying her tiny passenger. The Ayme family of Tingo, Ecuador, a village in the central Andes, is one of the thirty families featured, with a weeks' worth of food, in the book Hungry Planet: What the World Eats. The family consists of Ermelinda Ayme Sichigalo, 37, Orlando Ayme, 35, and their children: Livia, 15, Moises, 11, Jessica, 10, Natalie, 8, Alvarito, 4, Mauricio, 30 months, and Orlando hijo (Junior), 9 months. Lucia, 5, lives with her grandparents to help them out. (Please refer to Hungry Planet book p. 106-107 for a family portrait [Image number ECU04.0001.xxf1rw] including a weeks' worth of food, and the family's detailed food list with total cost.)

![Opalized fossil remains of the stomach of a plesiosaur. The stomach contents have been fossilized by replacement of the organic matter with tiny spheres of hydrous silicon oxide (opal). This allows paleontologists to study the diet of this marine dinosaur. As well as providing insights into its feeding habits, the stomach contents may give valuable clues as to the climate in the region in which the dinosaur lived some 120 million years ago. This specimen was found in Australia and is kept at the Sydney Museum. [1989].](https://m.psecn.photoshelter.com/img-get2/I0000iVvrd32Jx14/fill=/fit=180x180/I0000iVvrd32Jx14.jpg)
