"The DOD's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or darpa, had $2 billion to fund wild and crazy science ideas—notions so far-out that standard civilian funding sources would not consider them. Among DARPA's many projects were $61.6 million of bioweapons defense efforts. The primary darpa hope was that someone would develop a fast, cheap, safe, and portable way to sample air for the presence of nasty biologicals. Most of the research under way focused on unique genetic attributes of bacteria and viruses." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)

"The military do such investigations through darpa. A team headed by James M. Tour, a Rice University professor and cofounder of Molecular Electronics Corporation, is using darpa funding to develop the first nanochip-type device. "I want to see us run up the tail of every chip maker around," Tour says. "This will change the landscape for some huge, global industries." - Douglas Mulhall, Our Molecular Future: How Nanotechnology, Robotics, Genetics and Artificial Intelligence Will Transform Our World (Get the book.)

"Among DARPA's many projects were $61.6 million of bioweapons defense efforts. The primary darpa hope was that someone would develop a fast, cheap, safe, and portable way to sample air for the presence of nasty biologicals. Most of the research under way focused on unique genetic attributes of bacteria and viruses. One project involved trying to grow human nerve cells on microscopic chips that would change color or light up if the nerves detected some sort of neurotoxic agent." - Laurie Garrett, Betrayal of Trust: The Collapse of Global Public Health (Get the book.)
