A young lady had been visiting a small assembly of about 60 believers. She appreciated the teaching and the warm fellowship of the Christians there.

Going small is big business and has many potential applications, including targeting and treating cancer cells. Others see the potential to create smaller, more powerful computer chips2 or even human/machine hybrids. In his new book, Nano-Hype, […]
