...biotechnology is limited by the tasks cells already know how to carry out. Nanotech visionaries have much more ambitious notions. Imagine a nanomachine that could take raw carbon and arrange it, atom by atom, into a perfect diamond. Imagine a machine that dismembers dioxin molecules, one by one, into their component parts. Or a device that cruises the human bloodstream, seeks out cholesterol deposits on vessel walls and disassembles them. Or one that takes grass clippings and remanufactures them into bread. Literally every physical object in the world, from computers to cheese, is made of molecules, and in principle...

...Mars Global Surveyor has been taking high-resolution color pictures of the surface of the red planet since 1997. Now NASA is releasing the first photographs to the public online at www.msss.com/moc_gallery all 20,000 of them, and they're gorgeous. The south polar cap, above, frosted with carbon dioxide, looks like the swirl in the center of a toffee. So much for all those face-on-Mars rumors...
...halted. Now scientists have developed a simple and, alas, still experimental test that can predict just how well a patient will handle cancer drugs. Patients have their breath analyzed (by blowing into a balloon) soon after they are injected with a tiny dose of a drug that releases carbon particles while it's being broken down by the liver. Very little carbon suggests the body will be slow to metabolize cancer drugs--and that a less toxic dose may be called...
