Part One of the best walk-through of nanotechnology and the potential for its future applications. Give a big hand for seta37.

  • Status Kwo... I should know that word... right?

  • It's been said that nanotech could build modules that could build a house. But where would you put the house? How would one procure the land for it?

  • If you'd like to know why we've been able to do all this and have all these different theories... read Neal Stephensons "The Diamond Age or A Young Ladies Illustrated Premier". A lot of these ideas actually come from that book.

  • Go off the earth and go other places then find new life and repeat the same fucking thing Briton and america has done.

  • would it not be possible to have a no weapons rule encoded in the software design?

  • It is going to start with at-home 3d printing. I believe that reprap printer design is capable of printing the parts needed to create more printers. With the advent of cheap laser diodes, and 3d printers people at home will be able to design and build anything at a macro level, with nano-technologies being used for high-precision manufacturing. I think we are close to being able to use photolithography to print micro and nano machines. TY! BTW I would join your guild! :D

  • Nano-carbon technology tires are useful for Space Shuttle.

  • I would make a Kelly LeBrock.

    a nano bot doesn't need nearly all the features a PC or handheld computer has, so that is one method of miniaturization by simply cutting extra stuff from the processor and other components; no extra ports, no add-on expansion bays. You design the bot's body, tools, and computer for one specific job or class of jobs it is intended to perform. It might have one communication port for talking to other nanobots and the conrolling device, and some sensors and tools. Nothing else.

  • A lot of people have this misconception of nano-bots as minaturizing an entire 64-bit, 4 core PC and putting it inside the space of a cell.

    That's not what a nano-bot is. An individual nano-bot uses a small, very specialized computer, maybe 4bit to 8bit processor, with a few megabytes of programming, that is just big enough to do it's job and has just enough intelligence, sensors, and toos to do one specific task, or a few specific tasks. Nothing more, nothing less.
