Atomically precise manufacturing
(Redirected from APM)
Atomically precise manufacturing
- is manufacturing of artificial artifacts with at least topological atomic precision
- has a dedicated focus towards more advanced technology like
gemstone metamaterial technology and its production devices gemstone metamaterial on-chip factories
(featuring positional atomic precision all the way up to the macroscale)
The term atomically precise manufacturing was introduced in the book "Radical abundance"
To prevent mix-up of the this technology with any of the various other nanotechnologies that
- are not atomically precise or
- do barely or not at all focus on improving on atomically precision (improve in "controllable scale")
All this is the main topic of this wiki (See: Main Page).

Side-note regarding an observation: "precision", "accuracy", and "resolution" might have quite detailed definitions.
But digging deep it turns up some insuffieciencies/inconsistencies it seems.
Especially when trying to get a unified picture over across both sensing (in) and actuation (out).
