Self-replicating nanomachines, able to build a variety of remarkable substances at a molecular level.
Molecular assemblers - machines by which we can move and place reactive molecules with atomic precision - are a branch of nanotechnology that is essential to progress on a number of fronts. One is technological: the creation of ultra-resilient, self-repairing armor that can withstand even the heaviest assaults, and low-mass capacitors that can store and release incredible amounts of power. Another is biological: arranging specific strings of amino acids in order to assemble protein molecules, and therefore alter, or even create, living organisms. To do this, we will require vast, dedicated nanofactories, which our scientists now believe can be built by a single, self-replicating molecular assembler, thus almost wholly removing any dependence upon either personnel or resource shipments. Once these automated factories are established, the possibilities are near-endless.
