It looks like DNA can conduct electricity
under the right circumstances. Combine this
new-found capacity with DNA's talent for assembling
itself into complex patterns and you have
the makings of a revolution in microelectronics.

DNA
induced to superconductivity
When metal contacts on either end of a piece of DNA are cooled to the point of superconductivity, the DNA offers little resistance.
Muscles
tapped for virtual input
Why resort to the brute force of actually moving your mouse when you can just flex your muscles to get the message across?
Tiny
treads move minuscule robot
Wheels just don't cut it for a robot the size of a quarter, but tank treads have what it takes to traverse tough terrain like carpets. Making even smaller robots means slimming down those bulky batteries, though.
Proposal
would marry atom and photon
Hitching an atom to a photon could give quantum computers the best of both: durability and mobility. It could also help provide the ultimate in secure communications.
