What is molecular nanotechnology (MNT)?

Molecular nanotechnology ("MNT") is the expected production technology that would allow precise control and position set of building blocks of molecules using nano-mechanism manipulators. Molecular nanotechnology is usually considered to be different from the more inclusive concept of "nanotechnology", which is now used to indicate a wide range of scientific or technological projects that focus on phenomena or nanometer scales (around 0.1-100nm). Nanotechnology is already a flowering field, but molecular nanotechnology-productive, molecular machine systems-is still in preliminary research phase.

Nanotechnology was first introduced in 1959 in an interview for the Nobel Prize victory, which is at the bottom. "Feynman proposed the use of a set of conventional robotic weapons to build a replica but one tenth of the original size and then using a new set for production even smaller sets, etc.Ybychom had many millions or billions of such molecular arms, we could program them to cooperate on creating macro-girlfriend products made from individual "bottom-up" molecular-techniques, unlike the usual technique of cutting off the material.

Feynman's idea remained largely undiscovered until the mid -80s, when the engineer MIT educated K. Eric Drexler published the "Engine of Creation", a book that popularizes the potential of molecular nanotechnology. Since MNT would allow manufacturers to produce products from bottom to top with precise molecular control, it would be possible to create a very wide range of chemically possible structures. Since MNT systems could place each molecule in their specific location, molecular production processes can be very clean and efficient. Also because every piece of hMotes in the molecular nanotechnological system would be part of the nanotechnological manipulator manipulator, nanotechnological systems could be much more productive and maintain much higher transmittance than modern manufacturing techniques using MAKRO manipulators manipulators.

To start the MNT revolution, the "assembler"-the transogrammable manipulator of the nano-meter capable of creating a wide range of molecular structures, including a complete copy itself. The first assembly will only function effectively in laboratory environments such as vacuum. The arrival of self -supporting molecular nanomachins could quickly lead to "table nanofactors", a table device that consume modest energy and contain the software needed to produce an interesting range of useful products. The advent of MNT would revolutionize wide sectors Human's activity, including production, medicine, scientific research, communication, calculation and war. When a full -fledged molecularNanotechnology is not known at present, but some experts predict his arrival sometime between 2010 and 2030.
