Drexlarian Assemblers

from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault

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.Note:  This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.  Please double-check any critical information.Sponsored by Embersilk LLC
