you have the proponent and the high-tech life sciences ahead -- and nanotechnology all coming together in this extraordinary innovation corridor that is a really remarkable fang. hats off to sales force and the board of directors. and all of us that will be the beneficiary of this extraordinary new campus. here we are in the worst economic recession and there are these exciting announcements as it relates to the commitment of businesses that believes in the innovative spirit and the entrepreneurial spirit of our city. let's not forget the ingredients, the people. and also some stability in terms of the tax policy. i encouraged the next mayor as we navigate another budget shortfall that is substantially lower than it was last year, that we not make the mistake and scare off these commitments that businesses are making that will generate exponentially more revenue for the city's, and if we go out and tax our way to prosperity, i say that as a democrat that believes there is an appropriate time for new revenue, but right now, we are seeing these businesses make of it mints and make dramat

it uses nanotechnology. >> people would drop a silver dollar dollar to clean it. >> if you run a minute amount of elect it amply ties the bacterial powers thousands of times. they are making the first batteries, cotton infused with the hottest thing today. so they have nano wires. >> using electricity and nano wires to try to treat water. >> nano silver with nano carbon did the trick. they could get 98% of the e. coli in the water in one pass. >> just tiny amounts, there is no reason we can't do thousands of gallons quickly. >> in fact all the water used by one household in one year could be treated with one filter in one hour the size of a kitchen sink. >> the biggest applications will be remote areas, third world countries. >> with a couple of batteries you could take something like this on the camping trip. richard hart, "abc 7 news." >>> and environmental dilemma faces cal trains. how do protect their one of a kind plant. plus.... >> when you are bigger you're all going to college? >> the program is n san francisco giving kindergarteners a downpayment for cololololololñ >>> welcome

we have nanotechnology. these are the future, mit, and nobel doctors.fortunate enough to be around all the time. i know keith black. i know what is coming. and, man, it is going to blow your mind. it is happening already. tavis: everything you do blows my mind. what he told me, "tavis, every day, with it like it is your last." -- live every day like it is your last." >> and one day it will be right. frank sinatra told me that. tavis: the new cd, "q: soul bossa nostra." who knew that austin powers was going to bring this back. and it is back. >> it will go away. tavis: that is the new cd. and if you want to be a producer, read his book, "q on producing." q, i love you, and there is nothing you could do about it. >> god bless you. tavis: that is our show for tonight. until next time, good night from l.a., and as always, keep the faith. ♪ >> for more information on today's show, visit tavis smiley at pbs.org tavis: hi, i'm tavis smiley. join me next time with filmmaker darren aronofsky of the release of his much talked-about film, "black swan." that is nex

for micro and nanotechnology. laboratory clean room infrastructure for small companies trying to take technology from ideas to products the facility combines funding from the city state and european union now hosting around twenty companies with over one hundred employees . including many from russia so what you see here on the board is basically the essence of eight years of experience all rick perry did with a dozen friends and i decided. you know the route in technology that needs to have access to global markets openness leaders get in between and don't want this team's find the perfect infrastructure in order to do the conversion of that technology into products where is the money to make a reality come from well basically it needs investors right but you know to get them this infrastructure in a high tech start up team to make a predictable conversion you have a clear timeframe move to the few years in order to convert technology to products and prepare the company in order to approach global markets that's

money raised from the bones issue will help us not only diversify its funds used to invest in nanotechnology projects. and a quick look at markets european stocks to mixed the some of the foods here reopened for the first time since christmas eve and slipped into red this hour the taxes up oil stocks gained on high current prices shares of francisco child game one percent and royal dutch shell advance one point four percent another bright support was gold mine a round of gold resources which is up four and a half percent in london. and here in russia the markets are also mixed r.t.s. has slipped into negative territory after early gains in the my six up around half cent. the world's taiko has jumped almost three percent on reports the company's buying around twelve million of its shares from the market remains the top loser after the comic con has announced its suspending it to the chief for new year holidays and once price increases a lot of cars. russia is taking new steps to consolidate its power industry state controlled utility into rao is raising cash in order to buy up to fifteen bill

the question is, can we design, using nanotechnology, something that can replicate what the plant does, but we have the advantage. we have what the biological world has access to, therefore we can design something better, just as when we learned to fly, we started by looking how birds flew. the rights -- the right brothers were just like large soaring birds, but they used a gasoline engine instead of muscle power. today's engines use material that nature cannot produce. single crystals of metal in the turban blades. can we do this and our officials photosynthesis and skip the hydrocarbon and go from water to oxygen, hydrogen, carbon dioxide to hydrocarbon fuel? it has been around for awhile. in the last couple of years, there have been enough advances in a technology and science that we have a shot that this can happen in a cost-effective way in five years. and innovation how it has been started to find that type of research. we face falling behind. we need to seize this opportunity and we really cannot afford not to. in closing, let me say that there are some differences between this

science scares people whether you talk about nanotechnology, little molecule you can see being created a use for things, we don't know what is going on with them. we are cloning. it is easy to sensationalize scientists and scare people. i think a lot about that when i write. how to well-balanced these things? i am asking tough questions but making it clear the science is good and i don't want to scare people from going to the doctor. that is a big personal responsibility. people often say i went to the doctor. i'm supposed to go next week. should i be worried? we spend a lot of time talking about no, you should not be worried. you should go to the doctor. read the forms they said you. i spent a lot of time translating that for people. >> the deck about demonizing is a great one. that is something i had to deal with, human experimentation. you look at that and think how can you experiment on humans with or without their consent? as a writer my responsibility is to recreate what was like in those epidemics that would make people so desperate when you are losing tens of your population. d
