A reliably predictable but

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)

Testing image layouts

info-box-template snatched from Wikidata

Wanted: Better layout for main-page. => learn from Wikidata.

Test math

For New Main Page

Don't fall pray to the prime distractions.

Whats new on this wiki?

Template:APMwiki news

Where we're at and where we're headed to.

Current state

Template:Cutting edge
(wiki-TODO: make cutting edge info-box with: sketch of structural DNA hinge mechanism & atom placement demo)
(wiki-TODO: add infobox with structural DNA hinge left and atom placement example right – plus contxt images?)

Far term target

A personal desktop gem-gum factory fabblet with dynamically deployed protective hood.

The personal gem gum factory is:

  • Your personal device that can push out virtually every thing* of your daily use.
    (* at least every inedible thing)

The personal gem gum factory makes:

  • Your products that are as cheap as the abundant mining-free raw materials that it processes.
  • Your products that are far superior to today's best and ridiculously expensive high tech products.
  • Your products potentially in an environmentally friendly effluent free way
    (also advanced recycling is faster than producing from scratch)
Graphical Infosheets: [1] (work in progress)

(wiki-TODO: Nanofactory introduction infobox: both images need to go - (not anymore?)! make new better sketch of nanofactory - maybe add censored products pic - ditch or improve on covergent assemby)

What, Why, How, When

DEFINITION: About APM What APM is not and what it is.
MOTIVATION: Reasons for APM Why we need APM.
OBSTACLES: conceptual and institutional challenges What impedes progress towards 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:

Pick your favorite concern

This does not work because of ...
FrictionThermal motionThermodynamicsFat fingersSticky fingersChicken egg problemNature does it differentlyQuantum mechanics

For a new orientation page

The big picture – Tour by map

(wiki-TODO: improve formulation; match up with main chapters - replacing "template:Orientation" -- WANTED: two colum info-boxes with minithumbs and maybe circled numbers ❶ ①)
Main article: "possibility space"
TODO: reformat to be more vertical and reformulate

(0) Introduction and overview

(1) Developing froward – current R&D

(2) Possible pathways

(3) Developing backward – preparatory design

(4) The far term target – kind of targeted manufacturing devices – core exploratory engineering

(5a) The targeted kind of materials

(5b) Products, and effects – benefits and risks

(wiki-TODO: maybe add 0$-OSHW sign to gem-gum-factory infobox)
