How Molecular Bearings Move
15 December 2006, 11:28

Categories: molecular-manufacturing molecular-machines--devices

Will Ware, developer of NanoCAD in the late 1990s, has created an accurate simulation of a molecular bearing rotating. Ware recently announced:
Using NanoEngineer-1 and other open-source software, I have created an animated simulation of the molecular bearing design on page 298 of Nanosystems by Eric Drexler. I worked with Dr. Drexler over several weeks to ensure that the video is behaviorally accurate and clarifies some points of confusion that he has encountered in another molecular animations.
