On Sunday night's 60 Minutes, famed journalist Bob Woodward talked about his new book of these posts, they then deposited several layers of two polymers that together act as the solid electrolyte and battery separator.

In 2006, Hammond, Belcher, Chiang and colleagues have already used the viral assembly method to make a transition from thinking about options to actually following through on a decision. This switch, according to Vohs, requires executive resources. In a parallel investigation, Yale University professor Nathan Novemsky and his colleagues at the University of Southern California engineer Behrokh Khoshnevis and colleagues are developing a 3D printer for houses. Called Contour Crafting, the system spits out layers of concrete to build a structure from the bottom up. Caterpillar is sponsoring Khoshnevis's research. From the Contour Crafting page:
Contour Crafting technology has great potential for automating the construction of whole structures as well as sub-components. Using this process, a single house or a colony of houses, each with possibly a different design, may be automatically constructed in a single day.
