I look forward to reading more on it. Let us all hope that Mr. von Ehr (Zyvex) allows the benefit of the rest of mankind to conceive more than just patents and confinements, but instead open source, open hardware, and open systems of molecular nanotechnology. Look what benefit OS theory has had from the promulgation of Linux. The same with nano-structures among the educated would reap much greater benefits for all.

Imagine having something smaller than a needle pin, and all of a sudden there sits a big robot, talking to you how stupid you are. “What is the side of the profits?”

Where'd my post about 'what did Mr Freijas just patent; an unverified idea, or an actually constructed nanotool' go? Whoa!

This doesn't make sense because it looks like he has either an electron microscope image or an stm/afm image of a whole bunch of I'm guessing daimondoid tools at the very beginning. Has he patented calculations or an actually already constructed nanotool?

At this point if there was a government/corporate Manhattan-style project for molecular assembler systems, how long and how much money would it take to bring about working, primitive self-replicating systems based on diamondoid mechanosynthesis? Feel free to answer everyone. Congratulations Robert Freitas!

I hope so, and this is a good sign. I wonder if Freitas’ 2012 claim for DMS is still on track. I hope so, and this is a good sign.

All our lives Diamonds were said to be created under extreme pressure. Along comes this brilliant guy who makes them in a vaccuum. What irony!
