“Nanofabric is the new black in fashion apparel and accessories.”

“Patenting particles makes everyone smile around here.”

"Think small, think really small and then think even smaller" and you almost will hit the miniscule trans-b.a.n.g.s (bits, atoms, neurons, and genes) at the core of today's particle transvergence. There's a rush to patent and fabricate particles, currently found in cosmetics, baby lotions, sunscreen, fabrics, paints, and inkjet paper. Industries now claim to control the vertical and horizontal axes of structures far smaller than "angels' dancing on the head of a pin." The sliding scale of the nano-world is one nanometer, a billionth of a meter, or about one twenty-fifth-millionth of an inch (far smaller than the world of everyday objects described by Newton's laws of motion, but bigger than an atom or a simple molecule).

What would do if you could do anything you wanted and knew you could get away with it?
Proliferating and losing oneself. This was the sense of the collective enterprise that the movement was attempting in Italy at the time.
