The struggle for control
Source abstract
Abstract
Ten years after Richard Smalley and Eric Drexler exchanged views on the feasibility of atom-by-atom manipulation, the precise control of matter at the nanoscale and the fabrication of molecular machinery are still relatively limited, and practical applications are a long way off.
