Freitas and Merkle Champion the Diamondoid Path which Drexler Now Downplays
Abstract:
Eric Drexler, one of the primary originators of many of the concepts of molecular nanotechnology, has written an article which clarifies his position on diamond based molecular nanotechnology.
Robert Freitas and Ralph Merkle and others in the Nanofactory Collaboration have written a response indicating why they have chosen the direct to diamondoid development path.
