Engineering at the femtometer scale (10^-15 meters), the size of atomic nuclei. This is the domain of nuclear engineering, but with godlike precision: rearranging protons and neutrons to transmute elements at will, creating stable superheavy elements unknown in nature, or designing atomic nuclei with custom decay properties for perfect energy sources or medical treatments.
Femtoscale Technologies *Example: A Femtoscale Med-kit could instantly convert carbon-14 isotopes in your body into stable carbon-12, eliminating radiation poisoning. A reactor using femtoscale tech wouldn't fission atoms randomly; it would disassemble lead nuclei and perfectly reassemble them into gold and energy, with zero radioactive waste.*
