In the course of a few hours, manufacturing systems based on Drexler's nanotechnology fabrication methods could produce anything from a rocket ship to minute-disease fighting submarines that roam the bloodstream. And, like biological cells, the robots that populate a nanofactory could even make copies of themselves. 2, record 1, English, - nanofactory

Nanofactories: A proposed system in which nanomachines would combine reactive molecules via mechanosynthesis to build larger, atomically precise parts. These, in turn, would be assembled by positioning mechanisms of increasing size to build macroscopic (human-scale) products that remain atomically precise. 3, record 1, English, - nanofactory

Une nano-usine est un système théorique dans lequel des nano-machines combineraient des molécules réactives par mécanosynthèse pour construire des éléments d'une taille supérieure avec une précision atomique. Ces éléments seraient ensuite assemblés pour construire des produits macroscopiques (à échelle humaine) avec la même précision atomique. 1, record 1, French, - nano%2Dusine
