Eric Drexler’s new book: Radical Abundance – How a Revolution in Nanotechnology Will Change Civilization (Nanowerk News) “Imaging what the world might be like if we were really good at making things—better things—cleanly, inexpensively, and on a global scale.…The global prospect would be, not scarcity, but unprecedented abundance—radical, transformative, and sustainable abundance. We would be able to produce radically more ... Read More »

Do-it-yourself invisibility with nanotechnology and 3D printing (Nanowerk News) Seven years ago, Duke University engineers demonstrated the first working invisibility cloak in complex laboratory experiments. Now it appears creating a simple cloak has become a lot simpler. “I would argue that essentially anyone who can spend a couple thousand dollars on a non-industry grade 3-D printer can literally make a ...
