Microatomics
Just like microelectronics, but about baryonic matter. | |
The mastery over some of the non-baryonic matter (the leptons, like
electrons) had brought us the advanced computation and
communication
technologies, yet our ability to modify baryonic matter at will had
remained relatively limited: matter modification is still in the hands of
industrial machines,
rather than people's homes.
The microatomics could start with a general purpose matter modification
device, connectable to a computer, and allows for complex and fine
procedures to be carried out on arbitrary lump of matter. One can
imagine
this as a multi-tentacle systems, with variable instrument (implement) at
the
ends of these tentacles, which could include:
- drills
- saws
- surgical knifes
- scissors
- needles
- laser cutters
- water jet cutters
- hooks
- palm-like mini hands
- peristaltic (worm-like) penetrators
- flagella-equipped penetrators
- files
- visors/cameras
- electrostatic cutters
- sandpaper-like polishers
- grinders
- freezers
- magnetizers
- suction endpoints
- washing endpoints
- aerosol endpoints
- ... etc. etc.
The tentacles systems would come with a mini operating table to affix
the
object to be modified. Upon connection to a computer, such systems
would
enable the user to use those the "multi-tenticle systems" using their own
skills which could be used then to train AIs to repeat.
Produced at large scale, such "matter modification kits" could be very
modular, and be sold as consumer electronics devices, enabling people
to
make fine modifications to arbitrary matter they have.

Take one heavily-armed robot squid. Apply AI and malware.
Keep your distance. "Just try not to look so baryonic; that only
provokes it!" |

Scale is quite important. Is this like carving a a 36 metre cube anywhere in the Sahara desert? |

My first thought, is that it could be the size
of an ironing table (call it "programmable table"), where makers could
process their creations. |

[wjt], at macro-scale, that may work as a helper in real-estate
construction sites, at micro-scale, doing microsurgery. |

"Personal computer was popularized as a form of typewriter... Maybe the
snake-arm just has to be a super-cool screwdriver, that everyone wants,
because they can replace its head with whatever they want, and affix its
base it to wherever they want, and control and program over their
phone." |

I encourage you to keep reading up on things similar to
your idea. Nanotechnology (Drexler) comes to mind, as
do Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) |

Something new (to me) in arranging matter atom by atom
is fractal electrons. They arranged atoms into a
Sierpienski triangle and then the electrons naturally
surrounding the atoms took on fractal forms. |

Another thought I had was how to print nozzles smaller
than the originating nozzle at at a 3d printer. The result
is smaller and smaller nozzles to print with from each
cycle. I think I thought this might be accomplished with
using a magnetic field to compress the extruder output,
making smaller dots than the diameter of the source
nozzle's resolution. |

In theory, you don't need anything special to print a nozzle
smaller than the one you're using. Just print a circle with a
smaller inner diameter. |

What's an electrostatic cutter? |
|
|
Electrostatic cutter - plasma knife, a high-voltage electrostatic discharge
based cutting. :) |
