Appearing from seemingly nowhere, huge amorphous blobs congeal on skyscrapers and bridges... eating the structures, ripping them apart beam by beam, from the top down in some bizarre slow motion choreography, stacking the construction materials in neat piles around their consumed victims. Soon, whole buildings are razed to the ground, surrounded by their own components. Has science unleashed some uncontrollable mutant, destined to devour our cities and infrastructure? Is this a motion picture? Yes, but a movie run backwards. Seen from the beginning (in forward time), trucks arrive at a hole in the ground dumping structural materials to the side. A few special trucks appear loaded with solid rectangular cargo Suddenly these featureless cargoes become animated, break into individual cubes and "pour" themselves off the flatbeds to the ground by sliding over and around each other. Now a chunky blob, the mass raises itself from legs made of its own cubes, while cubes at the top slide over the bottom cubes, then down the leading edge to.make more legs as back legs withdraw into the mass. The monstrosity "walks" over by two other off loaded blobs. The blobs congeal into a larger mass then heads for a pile of steel I-Beams.

I n this C&EN exclusive "Point-Counterpoint," two of nanotechnology's biggest advocates square off on a fundamental question that will dramatically affect the future development of this field. Are "molecular assemblers"devices capable of positioning atoms and molecules for precisely defined reactions in almost any environmentphysically possible? In his landmark 1986 book, " Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology ," K. Eric Drexler envisioned a world utterly transformed by such assemblers. They would be able to build anything with absolute precision and no pollution. They would confer something approaching immortality. They would enable the colonization of the solar system.

64. Nanotechnology Critique - 4 - Calibrating Assemblers With Computers 4. Calibrating the Universal Assembler the computer as genie machine. A computer can make anything This will also be true of a computer with a box attached. http://www.geniebusters.org/04_compugenie.htm

4. Calibrating the Universal Assembler: the computer as genie machine A computer can make anything... almost. If you have AutoCad, 3D Studio Max, and RenderMan, you can design any machine, you can create objects of any kind and animate them, and you can render them to make them look realistic. If you have a printer, you can print pictures of them. You can even make pictures of the computer not only pictures of how it looks, but animated diagrams of all its internal workings. Theoretically you could do this at whatever level of detail you want. So a computer can almost make anything, including copies of itself. Of course, you can't make the objects themselves. But you can almost make them. You can do everything except the last step. Now suppose, in addition to your printer, you have another peripheral, which can go ahead and make the object itself. This is the famous "box" the desktop manufacturing facility. With the box, the computer can make anything, including copies of itself. The thing is, there is a long learning curve for any program capable of making anything. There are thick books one must read before using AutoCad. It takes a while to get started with such software, even for someone with considerable sophistication. I have been using computers for a long time, but I couldn't just sit down and start using a 3D modeling program. It would probably take me at least a month to reach fluency in 3D Studio Max, and longer for AutoCad. It takes years to learn all the nuances of such programs, even for professionals who use the software every day.

Transhuman Page Technological Sphere Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is the postulated ability to manufacture objects and structures with atomic precision, literally atom by atom. This would mirror the abilities of living cells (which do exactly the same thing, although based on evolution and not design). This technology will have tremendous potential if it can be developed; simple applications involve the creation of new and powerful materials, perfect diamond in bulk quantities and a tool to manipulate objects on any scale. More advanced applications would involve massively parallel nanocomputers, self-replication and more or less bright nanodevices able to interact with their surroundings. Since there are tremendous amounts of material on nanotechnology and its possibilities, implementation and limitations, I will concentrate mainly on its applications in transhumanism and some technical aspects.

Ever since single-walled carbon nanotubes were discovered in the early 1990s, the scientific community around the world has discussed in glowing terms the potential of the tiny technology width of approximately 10 hydrogen atoms lined up nanotubes are self-created from an electrical discharge between electrons. They could eventually perform the same functions as chips, some say, making PCs run billions of times faster. The opportunity presented by nanotechnology has already led to at least one scandal, when last September the experiments of Bell Labs scientist Jan Hendrik Schon were proven false. It has also entered popular culture: Prey, the new thriller by author Michael Crichton, concerns a nanotechnology firm.

5 of 9 Makino: What are the possibilities of nanotechnology? Suyama: I think that it is a very promising area of research. Many researchers in Europe and the United States believe that it may be possible to explore nanotechnology using DNA computers. Yet, however powerful the theoretical computing capacity of such a computer, the idea is meaningless unless we have a reaction that will achieve the expected level of performance. We need research to make that possible. Karaki: I see. In other words, there are right applications and wrong applications. You always say that we should not use a DNA computer to perform basic arithmetic. An application that addresses Olympus's need for parallel processing to handle the vast amounts of information required for gene analysis will be appropriate. Suyama: Indeed. In terms of size, the hybrid DNA computer that we have developed uses a bio-assay robot to carry out molecular calculations. That is why it is so bulky, like the early electronic computers. We should be able to build a compact, high-performance DNA computer by using micro analytical devices, such as Lab-on-Chip and -TAS, or microchips with chemical reaction circuits mounted on substrates to carry out the analysis reactions. With microchips, however, we cannot install a large reaction vessel to hold the large amounts of DNA molecules required to support massively parallel computing and provide vast memory capacity.

Link To This Page By William Jackson GCN Staff The House and Senate have passed a bill to fund and oversee research and development in the potentially controversial field of nanotechnology. The Senate passed the 21st Century Nanotechnology Research and Development Act on Tuesday, and the House passed it today. House Science Committee chairman Sherwood L. Boehlert (R-N.Y.) said the president is expected to sign the bill. Nanotechnology is the manipulation of materials on an atomic and molecular scale. This area of research offers a great deal of economic potential. The National Science Foundation has estimated it could become a $1 trillion industry over the next 10 years. But it also presents ethical and societal concerns because of the possible impact of microscopic devices in the environment and on human beings. The act would promote U.S. leadership in the development and application of nanotechnology, and also would ensure that government has a hand in developing and enforcing ethical standards for research. Issues singled out for concern in the act include the use of nanotechnology to enhance human intelligence and to create artificial intelligence, and the release of nanodevices into the environment.
