eBook Description: Our September issue features "The Last Temptation of Katerina Savitskaya" (which some readers may recognize as a follow-on to Henry G. Stratmann's "The Paradise Project," though that's not a prerequisite). Confront two people with a very big, very mysterious artifact, and they may react to it quite differently, depending on their characters and backgrounds. If it offers new powers, they'll have to decide what to do with them--but there's one decision they can't make....
Edward M. Lerner's fact article, "Follow the Nanobrick Road" is an update on where nanotechnology, which you may have first read about here some twenty years ago, is now, and where it seems to be going. It has evolved from a grand vision of a forested panorama in which we weren't yet close enough to see individual trees, to a vigorous field of research in which many scientists and engineers are hard at work among those trees. Not surprisingly, things look different at such close range, and the forms of nanotech we can expect in the next couple of decades are not the wildest hopes and fears that sprang from the initial vision--but they're no less fascinating and full of potential. Lerner's article is a "report from the front," based on his visit to the 2007 conference on "Productive Nanosystems: Launching the Technology Roadmap," which brought together many of the foremost researchers making it happen.
We'll also have stories by Stephen L. Burns, David W. Goldman, and Bill Gleason; a timely poem by Geoffrey A., Landis; and last but by no means least, Part 2 of David R. Palmer's Tracking
