[Todo: add detailed description]

  • DM machine elements (DMMEs) (examples) like bearigs and gears have completely passivated surfaces.
  • DM structural elements (DMSEs) (example) are minimally sized structural building blocks that are only partially passivated. They expose multiple radicals on some of their surfaces that act as AP welding interfaces to complementary surfaces. The step of connecting surface interfaces is done in assembly level II and is irreversible.


  • DME ... Diamodoid Molecular Element (stiff - small - minimal)
  • DMME ... D.M. Machine Element
  • DMSE ... D.M. Structural Element
