Section Cut EXAMPLE Proposal for the exoskeleton to have a capillary system running thru it which collects and distributes rain water and air. After climate information is calculated, the nanobots would leave out voids in the exoskeleton for the distribution of these systems. The exterior of the structure would then have pores, where sides facing the […]

The Hybrid Peer-to-Peer network is a proposal of how our autonomous structures will link up to one another for data/information sharing. This will allow for ‘People to work together on designs and construction, without any direct communication or even common interest’. Once users have input their data into the structure and the structure has maximized […]

The first computer circuit to be built on a single molecule has been unveiled by researchers in the US. It was assembled on a single carbon nanotube, a standard component of any nanotechnologist’s toolkit. The circuit is less than a fifth of the width of a human hair and can only be seen through an […]

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 […]

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. […]

I didnt have any luck with the professor at SIU research nanotechnology, but I did hear back from Peter Yeadon [email below]. Also take a look at the Biomimicry Database link I posted. Just search for something like structure or shape to get started–there is a lot of information on this website. Dear Mr. Bailey, […]

I have been doing a lot of reading and research on nanotechologies and the use of Nanobots to assemble structure. This has brought up more questions than answers, but most information that I have found has been the work done by Peter Yeadon and the use of nBots. Peter Yeadon’s nBots project envisions fully programmable […]
