HP wants to build the world’s central nervous system, using nanotech devices that measure everything. Absolutely everything.
Imagine walking down the supermarket aisle with a cheap device you could hold up to a tomato. If the sensor detects a pesticide residue, you’d know the “organic” label is a lie.
This is probably the world’s most ambitious nanotech project, according to Fortune. HP aims to build ‘a central nervous system for the earth.’ Nothing less.
Well at least this makes my central nervous system a little shaky.
The company aims to develop a panoply of microscopic-scale nanotech devices that will be able to measure essentially anything. Viruses, bacteria, the chemical composition of molecules, vibration, moisture levels, particular sounds.
