THE HAPPENING WORLD: Programmable Chemical Synthesis
The full title of this talk is “The First Programmable Turing Complete Chemical Constructor (Chemputer)”. I'm not sure one can really define Turing completeness for a system like this, but it is nonetheless an impressive achievement. There's an interesting discussion of “cloud chemistry”, where you can send synthesis procedures to remote labs and get the result back in the mail—imagine the possibilities.
