The hosts dive deep into the revolutionary field of molecular manufacturing and atomically precise fabrication. Dr. Chen presents the latest breakthroughs in atomic manipulation, self-assembling materials, and desktop nanofactories that could theoretically transform raw materials into finished products at negligible cost. Dr. Rivera examines how distributed manufacturing capabilities could reshape global supply chains and local economies, while exploring the profound implications for traditional manufacturing jobs and international trade. The conversation culminates in analyzing early-stage experiments at leading research institutions and the timeline for practical implementation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
