Molecular Nanotechnology / Nanorobotics

Machines that manipulate matter at the atomic or molecular scale for manufacturing and medicine
Back to HorizonsView interactive version

Molecular nanotechnology envisions machines that manipulate matter at atomic or molecular scale—molecular assemblers, nanorobots for medicine or manufacturing. Hypothetical; experiments with molecular machines exist. Applications: machines that can make anything; cheap planetary terraforming. Significant technical and feasibility debates.
