POSTERMINARIES
Mother Nature Makes the Best Materials There are some things in this world that are beyond our control. I suppose this helps us keep our perspective on life. In my case, I have to live with the fact that Mother Nature makes better materials than I do. I accept as a motivating principle the idea that new materials with unique properties can lead to new technologies. In my lifetime, the unique properties of pure elemental silicon have been exploited to give us toasters that talk, watches that beep in chorus to signal to seminar speakers that their time is up, and calculators that are cheaper than a six-pack of beer, freeing us to
