From Macroscopic to the Microscopic.

When electronics get smaller, when components get hotter, when we start replacing the meter with diameters of atoms as a unit of measurement, we enter into a world where the human engineering and science processes of deduction down from the macroscopic world meet up with the Darwinian construction of complex mechanisms from the microscopic world.  I'm talking about nanotechnology and nanobiology.

Effectively, if you start looking at electrical components in terms of individual electrons, the systems begin acting like simple machines, analogous to many principles of hydraulics.  If you start looking at biology not at the ecological or cellular level, but at the atomic level, the biochemical level, you also see the systems acting like simple machines, analogous to many principles of mechanics: statics and dynamics.

What are the outcomes of this?
Lets look some current research:

1) Computation DNA.
2) Protein data storage. ** Lets focus on this!
