Testing image layouts
info-box-template snatched from Wikidata
Wanted: Better layout for main-page. => learn from Wikidata.
- wikidata main page frame
- wikitata MP without pics
- How are those placed side by side?
- How are the images made to scale with browser-window-size?
Test math
[math] \phi= \int_{-\pi}^{\pi}sin(x) dx [/math]
For New Main Page
A Myth A Concept and An Idea
Miraculous Nanobots – A Widespread Myth
A viral idea that spread in the public consciousness.
Its about swarms of
"living" nanobots (nanobugs)
which spread uncontrolledly like pests.
Hoorofable: Grey Goo
"the unavoidable total apocalypse"
such a thing always sells well
Gem-Gum Pants-Pockets Factories – The Current Concept
A reliably predictable but hard to reach far term goal (since 1992) that is barely known.
In contrast to the mythology such a device can:
- not "crawl away / buzz away"
- not "devour" everything
- not "mutate"
Molecular Assemblers – A Dated Idea
An obvious bio-analogy (1986) from which the "Nanobug-Mythology" emerged.
The idea is dated since it turned out that assemblers
- are significantly more difficult to reach – (but not fundamentally impossible)
- would be pretty inefficient – (due to missing space inside for specialization)
- are not desirable – (because of forms of grey goo that are toned down to more realistic levels)
(TODO: Upload leas missing pic)
Whats new on this wiki?
Where we're at and where we're headed to.
Far term target
The personal gem gum factory is:
The personal gem gum factory makes:

Current state
Template:Cutting edge
(TODO: make cutting edge info-box with: sketch of structural DNA hinge mechanism & atom placement demo)
What, Why, How, When
DEFINITION: | About APM | What APM is not and what it is. |
MOTIVATION: | Reasons for APM | Why we need APM. |
APPROACH: | Pathways to advanced APM | How we get to advanced APM. |
PROGRESSION: | Time till advanced APM | When we will get to advanced APM? |
Also there are:
- the goals of this wiki and
- this wiki's impressum
For a new orientation page
The big picture – Tour by map
(TODO: improve formulation; match up with main chapters - replacing "template:Orientation")- (1) R&D with
(1a) untargeted research discovering more surprising pathway entry points
(1b) targeted engineering marching forward on identified pathway entry points; - (2) path, especially incremental path with three technology levels (2a,2b,2c);
- (3) target backward preparatory design
- (4) far off target: gem-gum factory;
- (5a) gemstone based metamaterials,
(5b) advanced products and
(5c) more abstract consequences (good and bad) hard to quantify and blurring into speculation -- (green areas) Exploratory engineering. (dark green) known today.
