About
Harry Kroto and I discovered C60 using my laser vaporisation apparatus at Rice. Later, I argued publicly with Drexler that molecular assemblers as he describes them cannot work — fat fingers and sticky fingers make universal assembly impossible. The real future of nanotechnology is chemistry, not mechanical engineering. What is your position?
