This article is speculative. It covers topics that are not straightforwardly derivable from current knowledge. Take it with a grain of salt. See: "exploratory engineering" for what can be predicted and what not.
This box is full of things made with future technology. While we can see some rough things most details remain censored.

This page is about what products could become a reality once crystolecule metamaterial technology has been reached.

Some disclaimers and notes

The potential applications listed here

  • should only be taken as motivation for targeted development towards gemstone metamaterial technology and
  • should not be taken too seriously since this collection of examples will be very incomplete and in parts probably quite wrong.

Beware of intermixing:

Smart combinations of the gemstone based metamaterials are the basis for all the prospective technologies presented here.

Once basic gemstone based metamaterial manufacturing capabilities are reached, development into the vast space of possible products will actually only be at its very beginning. A lot of programming work will be necessary.

List of potential applications

In depth discussion of individual technologies can be found on the hyperlinked dedicated pages. Some things may be found on the general discussion page.

Note: the levels of likelihood are perceived rather subjective and blurry.
This is a bit problematic but there seems to be a need for classification.

Mobile

Industrial

very high likelyhood

  • fully automatic miniature greenhouses -> reduction of land usage
  • metal free means of transport
  • supercomputers in glasses and contact lenses
  • dynamically adjustable glasses and gratis hearing aids
  • better alternative to chains on bikes and motorcycles - (see: mechanical energy transmission cables)
  • extremely good thermal isolation for housesenorm (thermos flask level)
  • a lot better prosthetics
  • high density data storages that are reliable for geological time scales
  • gauge blocks with lengths known down to the atom (thermal expansion ...)
  • gauge masses known to the single atom (good video: [1]) - isotope separation needs to be done
  • digital replacement for paper that gets widely adopted
  • adjustable tables, cupboards, shelfs, chairs (early ones without cushions?)
  • nice cutlery - self resharpening
  • safer gas pipes - gas transported in microcapsules
  • balloons that work without helium or hydrogen as lifting gas

high likelyhood

medium likelyhood

questionable

... and many more

Medical

Template:Biased

Developments in medicine tend to require more scientific discoveries (e.g. the understanding of the interaction of the bodies proteins) often making [exploratory engineering] over longer stretches into the future impossible.

Technology Level 0 and I will also advance in a direction of biosystem improvement (technology path µ). Whether and how T.Level III machines will wield those more bio-mimetic tools is an question that will remain open for quite some time since this question it in essence goes backward the technology levels into the yet unknown gap.

  • respirocytes

Can one or more potential killer apps be identified?
