		<description>@ Ulisses Marioto —

My initial impulse was to delete your comment.

Instead, I will explain why.

This line of technology development isn’t about me, or about any individual. It’s about biomolecules, nanoparticles, physics, engineering, applications, design software, and incremental progress toward strategic enabling technologies.

Most important, it’s about the &lt;em&gt;potential&lt;/em&gt; for a focused, multidisciplinary effort of the kind that will be necessary to develop and exploit a more tractable implementation technology, one that will enable more systematic design and faster progress. This critical advance is now within reach. To achieve it will require the creative effort of many researchers. Success may indeed be crucial to addressing global problems, &lt;a href=&quot;http://metamodern.com/2009/01/01/greenhouse-gases-and-advanced-nanotechnology/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;including climate change.&lt;/a&gt;

I would be honored to support and advise the leaders of a development program of this kind, and to help formulate it — but it’s not about me, and never should have been.

I wrote this and the post that it references because aspects of the history of the concept of nanotechnology — which do involve my role in the story — are important to understanding where the field stands today.

Thank you for your kind sentiments, but they are not helpful.</description>

		<description>Mr Drexler


You have to acellerate your molecular manufacturing, our world don´t support more, climate problem, social problem and etc, come on Mr Drexler

You don´t have incentive ou money from  the government ou others Institutes, but you have a smart mind


In  molecular nanotechnology, we trust

In Science, we trust

In Drexler, we trust
In Drexler we trust</description>
