= Roadmap =

== NanoEngineer ==

* '''Needs:'''
** Efficiency
*** Anything above 10,000 makes rotating/translating slow as fuck
*** the diamond creation screen is slow as fuck as well
*** port it from python to some other language
** Up-to-date libraries and installation instructions
** More molecular machine parts for the parts library
* '''Provides:'''
** Fast design of molecular machine parts
** Might lead to the equivalent of .stl files for the nanoscale

== Freitas Process ==

* [http://diyhpl.us/wiki/nanotech/freitas-process.txt Summary]
* '''Needs:'''
** an AFM
** a UHV chamber
** loads of cash
** CVD equipment
* '''Provides:'''
** Experimental evidence for mechanosynthesis
** A basic tool for the construction of some simple molecular features and patterning of surfaces

== Epitaxy ==

* Currently it's looking for feasible than direct-to-diamondoid for the production of dry nanomachines
* '''Needs:'''
** a UHV chamber
** an STM
* '''Provides:'''
** Experimental validation for the ideas of mol nano
** A rapid, easy-to-parallelize tool for the construction of some nanoscale (And even macroscale machines)
*** You could synthesize some incredibly precise NEMS and MEMS wheels on a bed of Germanium which is etched away, allowing you to push them together with an AFM or similar

| Title = Engines of Creation: The Coming Era of Nanotechnology
| Cover = Engines of Creation cover.jpg
| Author = [[Eric Drexler]]
| Date = 1986
| Description = By the 'father' of nanotechnology, this book describes nanotechnology as a kind of radical biology, greatly extended in its capabilities, efficiency and the range of products it can produce, and most importantly, being computer-controlled. This brilliant work heralds the new age of nanotechnology, which will give us thorough and inexpensive control of the structure of matter.  Drexler examines the enormous implications of these developments for medicine, the economy, and the environment, and makes astounding yet well-founded projections for the future.

| Title = Nanotechnology: Molecular Speculations on Global Abundance
| Cover = Nanotechnology Molecular Speculations on Global Abundance cover.jpg
| Author = Edited by BC Crandall
| Date = 1996
| Description = The introductory chapter on molecular engineering, written by Crandall, covers an impressive range of ideas and facts and introduces some novel perspectives. He begins by explaining measurement systems and physical scales, and then introduces atoms and molecules, giving both scientific basics and historical perspective, and segueing into the most relevant facts from biochemistry and molecular biology.
