This is like the Industrial Revolution in its infancy.
The world is going to be forever changed drastically. This is just the beginning.
While great, I hope the technology remains in responsible hands.
Scientists looking to sequence specific strings of DNA often need very expensive custom reagents. Perhaps a machine like this one could make them on site.
Unlike the “space age” that never occurred, the nanotech age could possibly revolutionize modern civilization on a scale similar to what the bronze age did to the stone age.
Where else but FR can you read about a breakthrough molecular engibeering technology and a man shooting himself in the nuts with bottle rockets all on the same page?

Wow, it seems like every time we turn around, another mind-boggling possibility comes up in the world of 3D printing. You definitely get the sense that if you thought the 20th Century was a time of amazing technological advancements, the 21st is going to completely dwarf it.
When 3D printers can print gold then ill be impressed.
We'll be able to "print" any element: gold, silver, carbon, uranium, etc.
If we can arrange protons, neutrons, and electrons to "print" at the atomic level, we'll be able to create entirely new elements.
The possibilities are astounding.
