A deep dive into technical and biological bases for developing molecular machinery.
The width of an individual DNA strand is around 2.5 nanometers . The smallest transistors that we can produce today are around 3 nanometers wide. Although we are already capable of manufacturing some devices at levels of precision rivaling the cell, there’s plenty of room for more innovation. In a landmark lecture given by Richard Feynman at Caltech in 1959, he discusses the theoretical limits of manufacturing and notes that the possibilities really go down to the level of manipulating individual atoms to create the structures and devices we want. Feynman didn’t get too carried away with specu
