Horray for my University attempting to make history again having created the spawn (Bushnell) that went on to pioneer in sub-rate video games (even for their time) and rat infested (or mascot?) pizza arcades.

I wish my majors Anthropology and Geography could be the beneficiaries of this kind of money and enthusiasm.

> human bodies naturally emit T-rays while explosives, ceramics, etc don't.

Starting to sound like Philip Pullman's "dust".

Let me know when they develop that cool knife for cutting between parallel universes.

So, after all the airport security systems have deployed T-Ray based weapon detectors... people (with enough $$$) will be able to buy weapons/items covered with stuff based on this tech and thereby avoid the detection anyway.

"It's not [as far as I'm aware, in my limited knowledge of all this science stuff ]foolproof so why bother?"

What a wonderful argument. I suggest you have a chat to the security attendants at the airports about ceramic weapons the next time they unreasonably try and get you to walk through the metal detector...

Let's see, T-rays, carbon nanotubes, quantum computers. Check. Can I build a quantum computer using either of these? Hmmm... enough to get funding? Right then.

What about high Tc superconductors. Nope, no longer hot. Put that one back in the bin with cold fusion. (It will make me weep if we eventually discover a hight Tc superconsuctor using carbon nanotubes, that wasn't discovered because the two trends weren't hot for funding at the same time).
