A nanofactory is a proposed system in which nanomachines (resembling molecular assemblers, or industrial robot arms) would combine molecules to build larger atomically precise parts. These, in turn, would be assembled by positioning mechanisms of assorted sizes to build macroscopic (visible) but still atomically-precise products.
A functioning nanofactory could create virtually any product at the cost of only the input raw material and energy.

So, is this how they make the iPod nano?

It is horrible to ... ( 8 months ago by lowerlowerhk)

It is horrible to maintain and reapir the factory..

we are starting a process in which humans are touching the God's hands. We have to be very careful, otherwise...I don't wanna think about it. If wars were to happend with this technology, much more people would die, but at the same time medical technologies would save much more people, or even create. Should i think it'll be the same as now but with larger number of lifes?

Funny they said ... ( 7 months ago by cyberbian)

Funny they said almost the same things about computers.
I know everyone hates the USA for that mistake too. Networking also. Just turn off the electricity and go back to your candles. You do not have to participate in this technological suicide along with America perveyors of horrible technology.

Technology progress ... ( 7 months ago by lonecretin)

Technology progress may be accelerating exponentially, but this will still take 100 years to be developed. Politics, economics and public future shock will significantly delay the creation of advanced nanotech. Not to mention that progress has to be hyperbolic rather than exponential to see this in less than 50-75 years.

i think the idea is that you wouldn't have to service it. if it got horribly dropped, you could just have a different nanofactory regenerate it from scratch. It would completely change the economy of the world.

it should be done by 4pm tomorrow!

actually, they have ... ( 6 months ago by enantiomer2000)

actually, they have run computer simulations on many of the aspects of these proposed systems and it looks like there r no show stoppers

And now we have a " ... ( 6 months ago by neonas85)

And now we have a "Silicon Valley". And most people seem to ignore the fact, that with the creation of new technologies comes new industries. I wonder, if with the creation of newer nano-technologies would come with a new nano-security industry.

Coooool
But; how do they build the factory?
maybe with another :-}
Do someone know?

In the late 50's someone proposed building smaller tools with bigger ones to the point of building a nanotech-scale tool. Of course nowadays it's a really complicated process, but look at your computer, it's CPU is incredibly tiny and contains billions of transistors, somehow they're making hundreds, if not thousands of those CPU's each day.

Great news indeed! ... ( 4 months ago by clerlic)

Great news indeed! You people have watched too many movies about robot rebellions, machines can work alongsite humans, or even enhance human abilities. Just go to wikipedia and type "Singularity is Near" , it's a book which contains some predictions of the future of the humanity with nanotek.

Kurzweil's a genius, but his optimism about the future is a bit much.

Great idea. But ... ( 3 months ago by Excessdenied)

Great idea. But honestly, I would be further more interested in a nanotechnology which disassambles our waste to its single molecules. Let's say the shown process backwards.

This is really ... ( 3 months ago by Versus1984)

This is really fascinating, but I wander, what if some of the factory components break? If the machinery is so tiny, how can an engineer could locate and remove the problem?

question....if it ... ( 3 months ago by descreieratu)

question....if it ever happens that one of the molecules creates some sort of instability would create a molecular or nuclear fission to occur over the layer which will basically create a chain de-particularization of each molecule and cell there ? i mean u really don't want to see that happening in you kitchen............BOOOM........

It takes an ... ( 2 months ago by hlyfire)

It takes an incredible amount of energy to produce fission. Even in the small chance that this could ever happen, fission of only two atoms wouldn't endanger a person in any way.

So I can program it to make a big old plate of buffalo wings?

how to build them?? ... ( 2 months ago by vigge42)

how to build them????? i think the engeneers missed thath part XDlololololololololololololollolollolololololololololololololoolololool

Talk to the NIST, they already have a functioning prototype, it's crude but it's a beginning. Or rather, it's the beginning of the end......
