"Until now, engineers have built things by taking larger objects and cutting them down to make smaller ones, Tour said. For example, trees are cut down to make tables, and as such, large silicon wafers are cut away to make transistors. But in the future, things will be built not from the top down, but the bottom up -- as in nature.
"

just think about 30 years from now ...

In the future we will have little cars inside us fixing or breaking things.

cool. reps!

awe thats too much to read
whats it about, space ?

lol, come on man you can read a couple paragraphs ..... it talks about little machines that will built things for us atom by atom

Interesting....+ rep

Link doesnt seem to work. But Nano tech already exists and might be the link you are posting. Cool and scary stuff.

i want a robotic liver more than anyting

i like it.
in controlled environs, those could build anything.
the book prey by Michael Crichton is pretty awsome.
in that b ook they also talk about the study of swarm
movement to direct the little buggers. like army ants and junk.
i guess in theory you could make them do anything. the self-replicating part is what scares me. i don't wanna be turned into no grey goo... no, sir.

I don't want no stinking repair bots.... just how many people DO you want on the earth...
