Most are probably too young to remember but nanotechnology was supposed to be the most super amazing thing ever.
minus-squareSethayy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoShit you and us all. Worst part of nano is that error is intristic, how much error is where the fun comes in
minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoIn the maths in Engines of creation, the errors were supposedly so small they were negligible.
minus-squareSethayy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoFor sure, and thats generally the goal of any engieering - the biggest question is what error are we measuring? Something like vesting a fully autonomous drone, not even close; tubes in a funny shape that trap all light, were already there 99.9%
minus-squareValmond@lemmy.mindoki.comlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoIIRC it was around one misplaced atom every century for some throughput. It’s like digital vs analog or so I understood it.
