November 20, 2001: Nanotechnology and Cryonics - Dr. Ralph Merkle

Art Bell sits down with Dr. Ralph Merkle, co-inventor of public key cryptography and principal fellow at Zyvex, for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of nanotechnology. Dr. Merkle explains how molecular machines built atom by atom could one day pack more computing power into a sugar cube than currently exists in the entire world, and how the scanning tunneling microscope already allows scientists to move individual atoms. The conversation turns to nanomedicine, where Dr. Merkle describes… Full show notes & guests: https://artbellarchive.org/episode/november-20-2001-nanotechnology-and-cryonics-dr-ralph-merkle
