Towards Atom-by-Atom Fabrication: Mechanosynthetic donation and abstraction
Brandon Blue, Mathieu Morin, Alex Inayeh +55
Enabled by inverted-mode scanning tunneling microscopy (IM-STM) and the use of functionalized molecular tools, we demonstrate positionally-controlled mechanosynthetic addition (don…

Mechanical Computing Systems Using Only Links and Rotary Joints
Ralph C. Merkle, Robert A. Freitas, Tad Hogg +3
A new model for mechanical computing is demonstrated that requires only two basic parts: links and rotary joints. These basic parts are combined into two main higher level structur…

Evaluating the Friction of Rotary Joints in Molecular Machines
Tad Hogg, Matthew S. Moses, Damian G. Allis
A computationally-efficient method for evaluating friction in molecular rotary bearings is presented. This method estimates drag from fluctuations in molecular dynamics simulations…
