The aim was to design a complete tooltip cycle and thereby proof
that there are no fundamental roadblocks for diamondoid mechanosynthesis.
The results where favorable.

Regarding experimental work mechanosynthesis has been crudely demonstrated on silicon (state 2021).
This is all very far from an experimentally demonstrated tooltip cycle yet though.
(Note: throughput rate and fundamental mechanosynthetic capability can probably be developed separately and orthogonally from each other for the most part)
