®Suggests that in not too many
decades we should be able to build products with almost every
atom in the right place, inexpensively, and consistent
with physical law
®Two main issues in
nanotechnology:
®What will molecular manufacturing
systems look like?
®What can we build today?
®Emphasizes the importance of the
carbon structure of diamond for nanoscale devices
®One application of nanomachines
would be in cancer therapy
®Proposes a molecular robotic arm to
manipulate individual molecules
