Japan Plans Huge International Research Effort: Japan will launch a $200-million, 10-year international research project to develop new computer chips, other electronic devices, biotechnology and new materials. The government will finance the project, but Japanese, U.S., European and other private corporations will join in the work. Development of 16-gigabit, dynamic random-access-memory microchips using atom and molecular-manipulating technology will be among the research programs.
