Co-developers wanted.

17-09-2003, 22:15
Kataikax of Nakatika, one of Anaxa's preimier high technology firms, in conjunction with the Anaxian Government Defence Developments agency is requesting co developers for a high density information storage media.

The media, developed over several years by the agencies above, has been succesfully synthesised in laboratory, but co-developers are required to optimise the interface between chemistry and computing, and to improve process efficiency in the large scale to reduce manufacture costs. The media, which is based on single molecule information storage, can be reliably built using a unique combination of chemical nanotechnology syntheses and is expected to supersede other forms of molecular computing based on DNA, RNA, amino acids or other biological polymers in several respects. Unlike the aforementioned biological computers, each information storage point in our media can be - in theory - switched seperately giving the massive parallelism associated with biological computing, but also allowing switching of individual points within the molecule by application of an appropriate magnetic/electric field - bringing parallel computing into a comparitively easy interface with electronics. In addition, the projected maximum storage desntiy of the media exceeds these previous molecular computers.

The co-developer(s) should be a market leader in their field with particular strengths in chemical manipulation on a molecular scale, solid state synthesis, miniaturization of electronics or surface modification, and have a proven record in projects with potential military application.

We have already received interest from several of parties, currently under consideration.

We are extremely interested in joining this venture. We have experience with nanotechnology developements and at least some experience in the other required fields.

The Royal Institute of Genetic Research, as discussed, is ready to send teams of scientists to Anaxa to start development on such a project as soon as possible. Challenging our protein computers, indeed. ^_^

The GLA relies on Nanotech quite a bit, in fact, we build most of our structures and equipment with it. We will donate the plans and information nescesarry to build and operate a Nanolathe system, which is our construction version.

Kataikax of Nakatika and the Anaxian Government Defence Developments agency would like to thank Super American VX Man, Whispering Voices, and Dontgonearthere for their interest in this project. We note with pleasure your expertise in your fields.

We are keeping the project open to allow for a slightly extended period to allow further nations to express an interest.
