"The way silicon manufacturing works, you put things in place statistically, randomly. At this size, chances are you’re not going to be able to get things in the right place anymore. It was clear that we needed a different way of putting atoms in the right place. There is a technology for putting atoms where you want them–it’s called chemistry. You design a molecule, and that has the atoms where you want them. What’s the most sophisticated kind of chemistry? It’s biochemistry. I imagined that you could use bio-molecules like proteins that have the ability to self-assemble and crystallize in the range you needed.”
