Technologies are built largely on investments in basic science research as well as, of course, serendipity and circumstantial opportunities.

That such nanostructures could even be made is because of the decades-long investment by the electronics industry in developing nanofabrication tools to make the tiny components in computers.

#Greece debt talks collapse and EU leaders prepare for state of emergency from runaway market panic (Naturalnews) Debt talks to resolve Greece's ongoing financial crisis are going nowhere,
Greek officials and creditors to the nation have drawn lines in their positions, diminishing hopes for a settlement that would avoid a default on billions of euros that the Mediterranean nation owes following a financial bailout a few years ago.
The stalled negotiations have prompted Germany's EU commissioner to declare that the time had come for a"state of emergency"after Left-wing Greek Prime minister Alexis Tsipras ignored pleas from other European leaders to act quickly.
Instead, he put the blame on creditors whom he said were responsible for the breakdown in talks
if any deal is to be reached extending credit terms. The present terms have proven to be the single biggest roadblock to unlocking additional aid.'
looming is a 1. 6 billion repayment that is due the International monetary fund. The payment could leave Greece cashless
and without any further ability to borrow, placing it in an economic abyss and"dangling on the edge of the currency area,"Reuters reported.
Germany, along with other creditor nations, have demanded that the Greek government get past itself and offer sensible proposals to end the standoff."
"It won't work that Greece sets the terms and says'everyone has to dance to our tune.'
and higher taxes on basic goods."We have exhausted largely our limits, "spokesman Gabriel Sakellaridis said.
as soon as possible but was currently on the lookout for any signal from lenders that that might lead to a breakthrough."
'Stupid'Meanwhile, nervous Greeks are ramping up withdrawals from the country's banks. According to Reuters, outflows totaled about 400 million ($449 million) on June 22 as the pace of daily withdrawals picked up from previous weeks.
Others have been critical of the entire Greek bailout process. Daniel Altman, senior economic editor at Foreign policy magazine and an adjunct professor at New york University's Stern School of business, called the bailouts"stupid"in a recent column."
"Let's put aside the debate over whether rescuing Greece was a bad idea in the first place; a complete collapse of its economy might well have led to social unrest and even conflict,
"Altman wrote.""But how the Europeans and their cohorts at the International monetary fund (IMF) bailed out Greece was amazingly, insufferably stupid."
"He believes that Greece's economic and political problems (too much corruption and the existence of a large shadow economy that doesn't pay taxes) require time to fix,
and that a short-term demand to repay a poorly constructed loan is bad policy. Sources:
