Self-Replication and Self-Assembly for Manufacturing
It has been argued that a central objective of nanotechnology is to make products inexpensively, and that self-replication is an effective approach to very low-cost manufacturing. The research presented here is intended to be a step towards this vision. We describe a computational simulation of nanoscale machines floating in a virtual liquid. The machines can bond together to form strands (chai...
متن کاملPeptide self-assembly as a model of proteins in the pre-genomic world.
Excellent catalytic efficiency has been obtained within a series of self replicating peptides, and nucleobase inclusion into a salt-switchable self replicating peptide is found to override the switch. Interestingly, cross-catalytic formation of an RNA aptamer is reported with a cationic peptide, and novel, amide-based biopolymers have been designed to self assemble.
متن کاملMeasures of Reliability and Task Complexity for Self-Replicating Robotic Systems
A self-replicating robot is one that has the ability to actively assemble basic components or subsystems to form an exact functional copy of itself. Measures of reliability and task complexity for modular self-replicating systems are introduced and applied here to a physical prototype. We define a reliability ratio based on the probability that a robot successfully replicates itself. In order t...
متن کاملThree-dimensional bioprinting using self-assembling scalable scaffold-free “tissue strands” as a new bioink
Recent advances in bioprinting have granted tissue engineers the ability to assemble biomaterials, cells, and signaling molecules into anatomically relevant functional tissues or organ parts. Scaffold-free fabrication has recently attracted a great deal of interest due to the ability to recapitulate tissue biology by using self-assembly, which mimics the embryonic development process. Despite s...
متن کاملUltrasound directed self-assembly of user-specified patterns of nanoparticles dispersed in a fluid medium
We employ an ultrasound wave field generated by one or more ultrasound transducers to organize large quantities of nanoparticles dispersed in a fluid medium into two-dimensional user-specified patterns. To accomplish this, we theoretically derive a direct method of calculating the ultrasound transducer parameters required to assemble a user-specified pattern of nanoparticles. The computation re...
