Graham,

 From the report :"The researchers now need to miniaturise their 
prototype, making it 100 times smaller than its current size, which is a 
few millimetres."......I'll wait till the miniaturisation happens before 
getting too excited, but a nice idea all the same.

Perhaps Microsloth and their silicon suppliers should take a leaf out of 
the mobile phone manufacturers books and go with fuel efficient products 
rather than the gas guzzler they seemed to have produced in XBox. Just a 
thought....
