I found these sites and while reading them I couldn't help but think of the SciFi stories that it could inspire.
Here are some samples - Tell me what you think...

Utility Fog intro (http://www.fairpoint.net/%7Ejpierce/utility_fog.htm)

Some of the basic properties of Utility Fog would be invisibility (when desired), strength, and enormous computing power. Molecular size means too small to see, and in low density formations (arms extended to maximum) it would flow easily as air. Speed? At molecular sizes, robots would move interactively at about the speed of sound, almost faster than we could see. The strength of a swarm of molecular sized robots would be amazing... if desired as hard as cement, and in unison could lift a truck with ease!

Jump off a cliff and your (hopefully large) mass of foglets extend from your body, adhering to the cliff wall to slow your fall to a pleasant decent. Jump from an airplane.... the fog expands into a very large parachute... you descend at any rate you want!

As you move past solid objects, your swarm of 'foglets' would flow invisibly and unfelt around the obstruction and follow your every movement... much faster than you could ever move. The fog could float you over the roughest ground with absolutely no bumps... at high speed. You could float over water with equal ease.... and never get a drop on you.

Camouflage would be at least as good as looking through a pane of glass... ala' "Predator". See great distances with telescopic vision... or magnify and analyze microscopic objects. Need a tent/room for the night? Just lay down on a feather soft layer of foglets... while the outer layers of the swarm harden to protect you from the elements and harm. The fog could warm or cool you... no matter the climate. Privacy? The outer layers turn completely opaque, even to full spectral scans, but you could see out like it was clear (the reverse of camo mode) . And... maybe best of all....never get another mosquito bite!

The major systems of spaceships will need to he made with special- purpose nanotechnological mechanisms, and indeed with such mechanisms pushed much closer to their true capacities than anything we have talked about heretofore. In the spaceship’s cabin, however, will be art acceleration couch. When not accelerating, which is most of the time, we’d prefer something useful, like empty space, there. The Utility Fog makes a better acceleration couch, anyway. Fill the cabin with Utility Fog and never worry about floating out of reach of a handhold. Instruments, consoles, and cabinets for equipment and sup plies are not needed. Non-simulable items can be em bedded in the fog in what are apparently bulkheads.
The Fog can add great structural strength to the ship itself; the rest of the structure need he not much more than a balloon. The same is true for spacesuits:
Fog inside the suit manages the air pressure and makes motion easy; Fog outside gives extremely fine manipulating ability for various tasks. Of course, like the ship, the suit contains many special purpose non-Fog mechanisms.
Surround the space station with Fog. It needs radiation shielding anyway (if the occupants are long-term); use big industrial Foglets with lots of redundancy in the mechanism; even so they may get re cycled fairly often. All the stock problems from SF movies go away: humans never need go outside merely to fix something; when EVA is desired for transfer or recreation, outside Fog provides complete safety and motion control. It also makes a good tugboat for docking spaceships.
Homesteaders on the Moon could bring along a batch of heavy duty Fog as well as the special-purpose nanotech power generation and waste recycling equipment. There will be a million and one things, of the ordinary yet arduous physical task kind, that must be done to set up and maintain a self- sufficient house hold.

As I mentioned in 'LIFE (http://www.fairpoint.net/%7Ejpierce/Life.htm)', the 'Streaming Code' of the universe is being decoded. Many thanks to the brilliant and visionary people who are decoding the machinery of the Universe, and handing us the keys!
What we do with this knowledge is our ultimate test, and our fate. Everything we do from this time forward will have an increasingly large effect on the survival and transformation of our species at the Singularity (http://www.fairpoint.net/%7Ejpierce/Singularity.htm).

I added them to my stumble upon blog too.
Really interesting stuff - especially that nano-fog
Perhaps that is where the legends of Gods, Demons, Magicians and wizards comes from.

I am honored that you chose my post to be your first post! We love scifi at CoolSciFi. Welcome to the family!

This is an AWESOME site!

wow indeed !

Some reading & dreaming material for a long while.

Great Site skwirlinator !

Where to start, at the beginning of course.

i agree recall, at the start. i know it sounded funny to see that, what i typed, but info like this i having been wanting to read for quite a long time. i am so glad that we, the members of coolscifi, team up to share so much information to each other and the world that this is my only site i go to for anything to do with scifi.

for me this is home. i left the sitel a few months ago for reasons of my own and found out shortly that i couldnt stay away. this is home to me, internet home as it is.

to me everyone here is a friend and i neither feel stupid nor awkward posting or asking questions.

i want to thank everyone here for bringing our world this incredible world of science, science fiction, fantasy and reality.

Kevin and Tim do a most excellent job running this site. Kevin is always trying new things and he is totally friendly. He definately named it right...CoolSciFi

I have two other sites that are non-stop fun.
