Some senior scientists have misrepresented the facts about this -- for a recent response, see: An Open Letter to Richard Smalley. Note that the proposed technology is more about guiding chemical reactions to do molecular assembly than about tiny hands manipulating atoms.

Thanks for the link to that letter.

Note that the proposed technology is more about guiding chemical reactions to do molecular assembly than about tiny hands manipulating atoms.

Wow! I didn't think that anyone (Smalley?) would think that it was a digital (finger) process, but rather a molecular (chemical process). Go Figure.
