Mechanosynthesis Without Carbon Dimer Pick and Place
Intro
While biodegradable nanomachines remain our first priority, we recognise that the pinnacle of molecular nanotechnology is diamond nanoparts operating in unison.
For that reason, we're interested in facilitating research into a promising flavour of the "direct to diamond mechanosynthesis" pathway. One that entails creating diamondoid parts out of pseudo-diamonds and using those as tools for nanomachines.
The joke has always been that you need diamond parts to make diamond parts. So why not lean into it? Manufactured sp3 tools and parts may be what will finally make pick-and-place tractable.
