This is so far beyond my level of comprehension.

I have believed for over 30 years that we will, someday, have a chip implanted that contains the total intelligence of today's computers.

I didn't know that computers had achieved intelligence yet. Do you have one that is self-aware? Oh, you meant artificial intelligence. Sign on the lab door: "Welcome to the lab where intelligence is strictly artificial."

It seems to me that the closer we get to these extremely small micro-electronics controlled by such low levels of power that these devices would become more susceptible to electronic noise and random magnetic influence....I have to wonder how delicate and practical these devices will be.....and when heat to electrical conversion will become cheap and efficient....

good point, I was thinking along the lines of a Room temp superconducting for transportation of people and "stuff, as well as ultra tiny vehicles to deliver drugs to individual cells", I think its quite cool to think of just laying on a bed while a harmless scanner gathers data and maps your internals while a doctor is operating a real time video game and homes in on his target...which is making you sick and the energy to operate the vehicle is a varying magnetic field that you can't see or feel, I think the micro field is real and just now exploding with growth.

..." just laying on a bed while a harmless scanner gathers data and maps your internals while a doctor is operating a real time video game and homes in on his target"...

I had the Doctor do just this several years back, you lay on a rubber table while the doctor zeros in on your kidney stones and smashes them with sonic waves from a computer, sort of like Asteroids game....but costs $17k to be the asteroid....lol

heat to electrical conversion is already possible, and I am working on this, but I am not going to reveal any specifics. The last one I made melted its own matrix in sunlight, non-concentrated. I put it away for a couple months while working on some other projects, but I did get about 200 mA over a 10Ω load on a cold day, and only partially aimed facing the sun. The open circuit voltage was about 1.4-1.5, depending on conditions. This was a single device, not an array, so I expect to do much better using series-parallel combinations in future tests with new electrodes.

Very interesting. There no doubt will be products arising from this. So the graphene is influenced by the magnetic field that overlaps the atoms. People are influenced by the ones nearby too, but probably not from their wave functions overlapping.
