Progammable Amorphous Silicon is an offshoot of Molecular Binding Technology and nanotechnology. A silicon crystal matrix, containing nano-scale mechanisms for controlling the arrangement of atoms can be programmed to take any shape. PAS is used in state of the art buildings to allow for the instant creation of furniture to suite the moment. It is the basis for almost all space suits, where the PAS coats the body of the wearer to create an ideal form of protection against both vacuum and temperature extremes.

Neural Nanonics are a combination of computing and nanotechnology. Most computing in the 27th century takes place through the use of tiny processors which are injected into the users brain. These Nanonics provide a powerful array of data processing functions and in with the more expensive models can provide heightened control of the users body. On Advanced industrial worlds almost all adults equip themselves with some form of Neural Nanonics. (The systems can only be applied to adult brains which have stopped growing)

The technology has been exploited in the past, to allow users to be take over, known as sequestration. There are many safeguards in place to prevent the possibility of this happening.

Didactic Laser Memory Imprints are the accepted method of learning in 2600 A.D. Facts, Information, memory of audio visual stimulus can be woven into the neurones of a subject with the use of an optical imprinter (The imprinting is done via encoded light which is viewed by the subject). The schooling of Adamist children now consists of imprint sessions, followed by a period of assessment. The rate at which someone can absorb and retain imprinted information depends on their mental ability. About 70% of children continue to University where both DLMI and traditional methods of learning are employed.

Earth, and a number of other High Population worlds have cities that are housed in a single giant building, or in the case of Earth are contained under vast domes to protect against the destructive weather patterns. Citizens can be born, live their whole lives and die without ever leaving these huge structures. Many historical population centres have been preserved from Earths raging Armada storms by the construction of vast geodesic domes with can span tens of kilometres and over several kilometres high.
