Molecules by me The nanotubes, special molecules made of carbon atoms in a unique arrangement, are hollow and more than 50,000 times thinner than a human hair. Billions of these tubes act as the pores in the membrane. The super smooth inside of the nanotubes allow liquids and gases to rapidly flow through, while the […]

The assembly line technique of replication is, as far as I know, an untested human invention. Plants and animals (at least at the cellular level) replicate via mitosis. But here we are dealing with RNA coding which is beyond my ability to demonstrate as it occurs in nature let alone as it might occur in […]

At tonights meeting we discussed which route we are going to take for this competition; an exoskeletal structural system (an Octet Truss System) or self replicating nanobots. Taking from the idea of starting from the bottom-up we have decided to are look at designing a nanobot which can self replicate itself to make a structure. […]
