Now the industry is convinced that a third revolution is under way: the convergence of biology and engineering. A recent report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology says that physical sciences have already been transformed by their adoption of information technology, advanced materials, imaging, nanotechnolugy and sophisticated modelling and simulation. Phillip Sharp, a Nobel prize-winner at that university, believes that those tools are about to be brought to bear on biology too.
But the chances are that this will take time, and turn out to be more of a reformation than a revolution.

C. C. Scientists have completely understood the mystery of DN
D. The origins of some diseases have been found in the second revolution.
