The world-renowned athletic tracks installed for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the resurfacing was spearheaded by Mondo S.p.A.. They installed their state-of-the-art Mondotrack EI (Ellipse Impulse) at the Stade de France. If the world record mile run had the same conditions but had the most up to date track surface then the world …
Feynman’s made a lecture and book that mathematics is needed to describe nature. It (in The Relation of Mathematics to Physics) is descriptive and he is slightly awestruck. The fundamental laws turn out to be statable in mathematics, and there’s no obvious reason they had to be. It’s the same puzzle Wigner named the “unreasonable …
Standard view treats physics as fundamental — matter, energy, fields — with information as merely a description we lay on top. Google Deepmind Demis Hassabis inverts this. Prior physicists John Wheeler’s “it from bit”, Konrad Zuse’s and Ed Fredkin’s digital physics also view information and computation are the bedrock. Matter/energy are what information looks like …
A graded trajectory is a complete recording of an AI’s attempt at a task plus a verdict on whether it succeeded, and it’s the fundamental unit of modern AI training data. A free grader is any mechanism — passing tests, physical reality, paying customers — that produces those verdicts automatically at zero marginal cost, and …
Reviewing the roadmap and alternatives to breakthrough molecular nanotechnology. What has to be done and how long will it take? I make the case the critical factor is creating a revenue producing flywheel as soon as possible. Creating near-term revenue-generating applications of molecular precision is one of the most effective ways to build a self-sustaining …
Current exoplanet images are mostly single blurry pixels or are inferred from the gravitational effects on stars. The planets in other solar systems are very difficult to see due to tiny angular size and extreme contrast with the host star. The solution uses general relativity as Sun’s gravity bends light and focuses light from distant …
A new paper provides clear, reproducible proof-of-concept for subtractive mechanosynthesis on silicon. It is not yet a complete minimal toolset”demonstration on diamond surfaces, but it validates the core principles of selective, mechanically driven atom abstraction and shows how molecular tool design can control reaction outcome. Together with the additive C₂ donation results, it represents the …
CBN Nano has built and operated some level of a working prototype system for mechanically controlled mechanosynthesis, even if not every single element of the full envisioned toolset is present in one published figure set. They have done and documented hundreds of carbon dimer pick and place actions. ~60–70% of the early molecular manipuulation tool-system …
There is almost 1000 pages on the papers describing the work and plan for creating molecular manufacturing workstations. This work (primarily the 2026 CBN Nano paper and the closely related inverted-mode STM paper arXiv:2512.24431) demonstrates a substantial, practical portion of the early tool system needed for a Molecular Workstation as outlined in rep059.pdf (Molecular Workstation …
Molecular Nanotechnology has worked for over a decade. I, Brian Wang, invested in the startup that has been moving and placing molecules using tooltips for over a decade. Over 180 successful atomically precise movements of carbon dimers are described in a paper. When some of the debates about the feasibility of molecular nanotechnology were ongoing, …
Ix Tech Neo has a breakthrough 25 Degree of Freedom (DOF), tendon-driven hands for the NEO humanoid platform– achieving near human-level dexterity, strength, safety, and reliability. They will mass produce them. These hands are designed to do something fundamental: remove the hardware ceiling on what humanoid robots can actually do, and make data the only …
