	K. Eric Drexler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Drexler was strongly influenced by ideas on Limits to Growth in the early 1970s.
		Drexler was involved in NASA summer studies in 1975 and 1976.
		Drexler and Christine Peterson, at that time husband and wife, founded the Foresight Institute in 1986 with the mission of "Preparing for nanotechnology: Foresight Institute's goal is to guide emerging technologies to improve the human condition.

	A Profile of K. Eric Drexler / by R.Terra (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Drexler participated in NASA and academic conferences on space development, and in 1975, at age 19, he presented his first professional scientific paper on the topic of mining resources from asteroids.
		Drexler and a growing number of others devote considerable time and energy to examining the potential social, economic and political changes that might occur as a result of the development of nanotechnology.
		Drexler believes such public awareness and the ability to anticipate change will be crucial to ensuring that the transition to a new technological era takes place with a minimum of disruption and human suffering.

		Eric Drexler is an author, theoretical researcher, and policy advocate focused on emerging technologies and their consequences for the future.
		Rather than concentrating solely on the immediate laboratory aspects of emerging technologies, where many scientists work in an array of narrow fields, Eric Drexler has chosen to focus on longer-term developments and their potential economic and social consequences, a broad area often neglected or overshadowed in the study of technological change.
		Eric Drexler was born in Alameda, California, in 1955.

		Eric Drexler, Toward closure: Open letter to Prof.
		As for atomic or molecular conveyers, and other forms of "positioners", Dr. Drexler may want to take a sharp look at how such concepts are affected by bond strengths and thermal issues.
		I suspect that anything bonded strongly enough to be retained upon and controllably moved by a "molecular conveyer belt" will, necessarily, be so strongly bonded to the belt as to negatively impact any desired reactions once the molecule has been transported to a substrate.

	THE CREATOR
		Drexler certainly does, and that's part of the reason for the four-year lag between his dreaming up nanotech and finally publishing his ideas.
		Drexler, on the other hand, claims to be frustrated by what he perceives as "consistently off-target and empty criticism." He says, "I've encountered a lot of people who sound like critics but very few who have substantive criticisms.
		Whether or not everything Drexler forsees comes to pass, nanotechnology is capturing the interest of a wide variety of professionals and laypeople, providing a springboard for serious discussion of how we might live our lives ten, fifty or more than a hundred years from now.

	C&EN: COVER STORY - NANOTECHNOLOGY
		Eric Drexler envisioned a world utterly transformed by such assemblers.
		Drexler, who was then a research affiliate with Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, also explored in "Engines of Creation" the potentially devastating negative consequences of such a technology.
		As conceived by Drexler, to deposit carbon, a device moves a vinylidenecarbene along a barrier-free path to insert into the strained alkene, twists 90º to break a pi bond, and then pulls to cleave the remaining sigma bond.

	NanoCon: The Cosmic Pie, Harms
		Eric Drexler and I fall under the label "libertarian," in a general sense of the word.
		Drexler raises and banishes the issue of evil too quickly to present much of a target for a critic to take aim at, but he does phrase the problem of evil in these terms: "are we too wicked to do the right thing?" A democratic bias leads Drexler to weigh people collectively.
		Drexler is not ignorant of the power they wield: "Democratic governments already have the physical power to blast continents and to seize, imprison and kill their citizens.

		Drexler states a hugh foundation of knowledge exists: physics, biology, mathematics, material science, and computer engineering and this knowledge is propelling capability, capacity, and achievement.
		Drexler remains dissolutioned by technology, encouraging the reader to believe that humans will one day want to transfer their minds into the machine compared to minds and biological matter and once transferred traverse and expand through out the universe believing reduced circuit size will mean increased computational capacity, less power, and less heat.
		Drexler sets forth in very clear and concise terms what nanotechnology is and what the implications for the future will be.

	NANOSYSTEMS
		The goal of Drexler's investigations is "building complex structures with atom-by-atom control", which is also the ultimate goal of synthetic chemistry.
		Drexler's approach is distinguished from conventional chemistry in that complex structures are to be made by using programmable "nanoscale mechanical systems to guide the placement of reactive molecules" to about 0.1-nm precision.
		In this volume, Drexler presents the technical analysis of molecular machinery and manufacturing....It will probably see use in graduate studies and as a reference work for many years.

		Drexler examines the enormous implications of these developments for medicine, the economy, and the environment, and makes astounding yet well-founded projections for the future.
		When Drexler's 'Engines of Creation' appeared, I realized instantly that this book was the ignition point for a technological shift of such scope, that the majority of the population doesn't quite yet realize the incredible double-edged potential.
		That they are relevant is testament to Drexler's predictive powers (When in 1987 he evangelises a hypertext based system of leaping between fragments of information stored on a network - well, sound familiar?).

		Nanotechnology." For years, Drexler has stirred controversy by declaring that molecular nanotechnology will bring a sweeping technological revolution — delivering tremendous advances in miniaturization, materials, computers, and manufacturing of all kinds.
		The basis of this book was Drexler's thesis for his doctorate in Molecular Nanotechnology, the first awarded (MIT 1991, I believe).
		Drexler lays out very well the limits and constraints that nano-engineers will have to deal with, like the perturbations to nanosystem manufacturing due to thermal energy.

		Eric Drexler's Engines of Creation is an enormously original book about the consequences of new technologies.
		It is ambitious and imaginative and, best of all, the thinking is technically sound.
		Then Drexler asks, "What could we build with those atom-staking mechanisms?" For one thing, we could manufacture assembly machines much smaller even that living cells, and make materials stronger and lighter than any available today.
