Picoscale Technologies

Engineering at the picometer scale (10^-12 meters), dealing with the manipulation of individual atoms and the electron clouds that bind them. This is mature, atomic-precision nanotechnology. Picotech can build any chemically stable material atom-by-atom, create molecular machines that assemble anything from diamondoid structures to complex organic tissues, and allow for the direct observation and manipulation of chemical bonds in real time.

Picoscale Technologies Example: A Picoscale Utility Fog—a swarm of microscopic, interlocking robots that can simulate any macro-scale material, from a chair to a computer screen, by dynamically linking together. A picotech surgeon could repair a damaged cell by individually replacing oxidized lipids in its membrane.
