When the notion of nanotechnology first hit public consciousness a decade ago, exciting concepts of molecular-scale nanobots performing miraculous feats of engineering-or, in the nightmare scenario, self-replicating until they dominated the earth-seemed to be within reach. But the vision has since been scaled back considerably, with funded projects looking at the next generation of semiconductor manufacturing and with companies marketing nanocluster solutions for building new materials.

A genuine nanoscale fabrication capability might arrive soon that would transform industrial society, though not in the fashion initially envisioned, according to a study by Chris Phoenix, director of research at the Center for Responsible Nanotechnology (New York). Phoenix proposes a desktop nanofabrication system that could build industrial components from the molecular level up under programmable control. The concept blends traditional mass-production techniques with an assembler that would use a combination of chemistry and physical mechanics to assemble objects from individual atoms.
