Drexlarian Assemblers

About this episode

We unpack the Drexler–Smalley clash about atom-by-atom manufacturing, explore the fat-fingers and sticky-fingers objections, and explain why Drexler’s programmable chemistry might overcome physical limits. From ribosomes to synthetic motors, we trace progress toward brick-by-brick fabrication, look at safe, desktop nanofactories, and discuss what near-term precision in physics and software means for business.
