Yet this tidbit comes directly from John Doerr, Kleiner's preeminent partner, who is so intent on ensuring that I'm correctly processing the significance of that figure that he helps me with the math. "That's $1 billion a year on average," he says. "Those are great gains. That's not a couple university chairs, and it's not a building or two. That's whole quadrants of a campus."

|
Imagine walking down the supermarket aisle with a cheap device you could hold up to a tomato. If the sensor detects a pesticide residue, you'd know the "organic" label is a lie. Similar tools could track the chemical content of water in a stream, telling you if there was lead contamination and when it got there, or keep constant watch on a bridge and tell if a structural steel beam was at risk of collapse.
