15 more minutes of fame...

I'm mentioned in an article on the Bloomberg news service...
Nanotech Lures Bankers, VCs With Promise of $1 Trillion Market

For those of you who haven't heard me talk about our research, let me be clear: I did not talk about silk screening atoms onto tee-shirts

I did describe our thin film deposition techniques as rather like "airbrushing with atoms" (that's a stock phrase I use in my talks, because the image it brings to mind in the audience is very clear), and I often describe our shadow-masking technique as rather like doing said painting through a stencil. I believe those two images were conflated together into the "silk screening" reference the reporter makes. Anyways, there's my name in print again. Should boost my Google hits some more ;-)

Out of curiosity re: google hits, I was pretty surprised that when I use our full "first last" name in googlefight.com that I lost to you by many factors. Just googling your name though shows that you have the same name with an Irish Architect that has his own wiki entry, and even a photographer of the same name :-)

I like how the reporter seemed to be more interested in what everyone was wearing than in the actual work being done. No wonder he created a T-shirt reference. :)
