Eric Drexler: Computers, solar cells, material stronger than steel, etc.

I just came across Eric Drexler's new website, which has some good links and info. In the middle of the page are links to pages that discuss nanotechnology's potential impact on computing, solar cells, and material that is 100 times stronger than steel.

Site Description:
"This site focuses on the science behind emerging technologies of broad importance, summarizing research results and offering technical perspectives on research directions. It includes tutorial material, new results, annotated bibliographies and links to external web resources. Initial topics include nanotechnology-based production systems (central to the future of physical technology), and secure, distributed computing (central to the future of informational technology). In both these areas, several widespread assumptions are very wrong. A better understanding can benefit both technical leaders seeking productive directions for research and development and policy makers aiming to make wise decisions." - e-drexler.com
