This article is a stub. It needs to be expanded.

This page is about using the principles of natural nanomachinery (main focus self assembly by movement driven through intense shaking) for assembly at the macroscale.

For main obstacles see page: Diffusion slowdown blockade

Perhaps also to be covered: Cases where macroscale physics is more limiting compared to nanoscale physics in case of future artificial nanomachinery.

  • Scaling law – selfassembly driven by shaking (even if artificially introduced) scales badly to the macroscale
