To build even larger circuits, we will have to solve two engineering problems: first, how to construct sufficiently large libraries of deoxyribozyme components that can be active simultaneously in solution and without interference; and second, how to model the kinetics of very large systems of chemical reactions with a very large dynamic range of concentrations (from only a hundred molecules of each species to millions). Although neither problem is entirely new, no satisfactory solutions exist today for our case.

awesome? yes.
However, it's still subject to >>2's copy pasta.

This is going to be quite a difficult task, especially considering how much effort that distributed computing protein folding project has been.

I still long for a solution to the N body problem.

What do you have to study to come most likely in touch with such projects?

Can a physicist work in such projects?

Or do you have to study biotechnology /Electricalengineering?

You must be the guy who posted the "Majors" thread.

A little EE knowledge is helpful to know what kind of stuff will eventually be needed from this technology (logic gates, half adders, etc).  Advanced EE is all about semiconductor transistors, and will be outdated by the time this technology is mature anyway.

Physicist? maybe, but biotech is probably a better choice.  If you do attempt physics, this probably falls under biophysics, and maybe a little under condensed matter too.

Yes i am. And you seem to be studying something related.

Ok, in my country i have not that much of choice.

I would go bachelor physics (with emphasis on biophysics and solidstate-physics/condensed matter).
I hope i can learn a bit of EE by myself, atleast the basics.

Though i don't like the idea, that today, most of nanotechnology is just about optmizing materials....

Then i would go on with Masters in "Nano-biophysics" or Molecular Nanoengineering.

Is this ok?

Perhaps i can do the masters in a country with more potential.

Knowledge of Chemical Thermodynamics, Molecular Biology, and a little bit of EE/Discrete mathematics would be beneficial.

The country would help.

>>8 a country with not to much restrictions (moral and ethical ones etc.) and paperwork etc.
   the optimal conditions for researching and creating new technologies with massive potential

Don't change these.
