Category:Surprising facts

There are a lot of surprising facts in the field of atomcially precise manufacturing
and its target of gemstone based metamaterial technology.

Suprisingness will vary depending on the readers background.

Surprising facts that may change perception of feasibility

Surprising facts about molecular dynamic simulations of Examples of diamondoid molecular machine elements:

• A better intuition for diamondoid nanomachinery than jelly
• Stroboscopic illusion in animations of diamondoid molecular machine elements
• Misleading aspects in animations of diamondoid molecular machine elements

Surprising facts about lesser known scaling laws:

• Higher throughput of smaller machinery
• Same relative deflections across scales given Same absolute speeds for smaller machinery
• Increasing bearing area to decrease friction:
  Deliberate slowdown at the lower assembly levels & math:
  Optimal sublayernumber for minimal friction & Compenslow & Why larger bearing area of smaller machinery is not a problem
• Generally: Scaling laws by degree of knownness
• Misleading scaling law: Lower stiffness of smaller machinery

Suprising severe differences to macroscale machinery looking just a bit beyond the superficial similarity:

• Macroscale style machinery at the nanoscale & Physics change aware scale transposed prototyping
• Pure metals and metal alloys (why not these)
• Oxidation (particularly the fruit analogy), Nanomachinery encapsulation,
  Nanoscale surface passivation, (Passivation (disambiguation))

• Van der Waals force as the dominant force replacing gravity: VdW suck-in and suck-on
• Nonbonded interactions, Intercrystolecular forces, Intercrystolecular interactions, Intercrystolecular snapping modes, Intercrystolecular levitation
• The finger problems: how they can be not too fat, and how them being sticky is of benefit

Surprising facts expanding ones horizon of intuition

• Intuitive feel: The feel of atoms & The speed of atoms
• Intuitively understanding the size of an atom & Magnification theme-park
• Distorted visualization methods for convergent assembly & Visualization methods for gemstone metamaterial factories & Log polar mapping

• Superelasticity, Emulated elasticity, Gemstone based metamaterial, Gem-gum
