See the Technology Roadmap for Productive Nanosystems on our website for various pathways.

As things are going, what area do you think appears to be the most promising for a true molecular assembler to come out of? Alright, thank you for the answer.

It sounds like the molecular gate toolbit squirts out specific biomolecules in a pattern. Not as described, no.

Could it be used to make covalent carbon and other structures and build assemblers? Is this a form of molecular assembler, from the way its described?
