Rent a Nanotechnology Lab

SeanAhern writes "If you're an aspiring young nanotechnologist with an idea for a new product, you'll be happy to hear that the DOE has created five facilities called Nanoscale Science Research Centers, that you can rent. These Research Centers are located in National Labs scattered around the country: Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois; Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York State; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California; Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee; and Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico."

Who want want to work in a lab like that..

Who want want to work in a lab like that, they would never get in the door.
If you are going to rent out labs, they should be at least, 3 times bigger.

Sweet, Where's Kurzweil.

If you use nanotubes instead of normal ones will the internet get smaller?

Well, you can perfect your superduper bioweapon but since it's a DOE facility you'll just get arrested and the US Government will end up selling your invention to terrorists ... ... oh wait that never happens!

Dear DOE;

We wish to rent your lab for a short time. Money is no object.

Sincerely

Tom Cruise

P.S. We have nothing bad in mind.
