The University of Missouri- Columbia has received another supporter for its nanotechnology research to the tune of 3.5 million dollars from the U.S. Department of Defense, making two new partnerships now created by support from U.S. Senator Kit Bond. The research, lead by the studies performed by professor Shubhra Gangopadhyay, “will primarily focus on the project to develop alternative energy sources and sensors that will detect biological and chemical weapons.” This ability in the devices designed for the military will be accomplished by using “microchip-based technology and nanotechnology to generate a powerful reaction with millions of shockwaves” and the innovative machine “can also can be used for health and medical applications” (or total world domination).

More paranoia after the jump.
