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

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 and anemone-arm fairy-hands.

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)

(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

moved to main page (removed here)

Pick your favorite concern

This does not work because of ...
Friction • Thermal motion • Thermodynamics • Fat fingers • Sticky fingers • Chicken egg problem • Nature does it differently • Quantum 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)
