Atomspheric carbon extractor (ACE) paste

Physics; Nanotechnology

Harvests the greenhouse gases for Carbon, to be used for diamondoid fabrication. Larger than most pastebots, because it has to be collectible afterwards. A well-designed paste could harvest 100X or ...

Ballistic magnetoresistance

Physics; Nanotechnology

(BMR) is yet another way in which spin orientation, encoding information on a storage medium such as a hard drive, can modify electrical resistance in a nearby circuit, thereby accomplishing the ...

Bio-assemblies or biomolecular assemblies

Physics; Nanotechnology

Containing several protein units, DNA loops, lipids, various ligands, etc.

Biochauvinism

Physics; Nanotechnology

The prejudice that biological systems have an intrinsic superiority that will always give them a monopoly on self-reproduction and intelligence.

Biomimetic

Physics; Nanotechnology

Imitating, copying, or learning from nature. Nanotechnology already exists in nature; thus, nanoscientists have a wide variety of components and tricks already available.

Biomimetic chemistry

Physics; Nanotechnology

Knowledge of biochemistry, analytical chemistry, polymer science, and biomimetic chemistry is linked and applied to research in designing new molecules, molecular assemblies, and macromolecules ...
