Nanomachines Digest

Nanomachines are supposed to be the holy grail of materials. After all, these smaller-than-molecule sized machines could assemble any structure by “atomic-scale "pick and place": a set of nanoscale pincers would pick individual atoms from their environment and place them where they should go.”

And when we say any structure, we mean any structure – from planes to bread to virus-zapping cells. That’s the beauty of Nanomachines and Nanotechnology.

Instead of repeating what’s out there, we’ve put together a digest on Nanomachines and how they can be used in the future:

• The Once and Future Nanomachine (Scientific American)
• Nanomachines Get Their Orders (BBC)
• Nanotechnology, Nanomachines, Nanobots and non-biomolecule Nanobiotech! (Radical Technology)
• This week’s posts on UCreateChange
