Vacuum Mechanosynthesis Exploration

Investigate the feasibility of vacuum mechanosynthesis—a process that uses mechanical forces under vacuum conditions to construct molecules with high positional precision.

R&D Gaps (1)

Our current methods do not allow precise control over the positional placement of atoms or groups during chemical synthesis, limiting our ability to build molecules with atomic precision. A general-purpose approach to atomically precise fabrication was envisioned by Drexler in the 1980s and Feynman ...
