AI Thread Summary
"Nanosystems" by Drexler discusses diamondoid nanomachines, a concept that has gained interest since its publication in 1992. Current research on diamondoid nanomachines is limited, with few companies or academic institutions actively pursuing this area. Alternative search engines like Dogpile can yield more diverse results than Google for this niche topic. Several resources, including websites and conference abstracts, provide updated information on nanotechnology developments. Further exploration of these resources is encouraged for those seeking the latest advancements in the field.

"Nanosystems" by Drexler -- diamondoid nanomachines

I recently picked up a copy of "Nanosystems" by Drexler.

Are there any companies or schools currently doing research on diamondoid nanomachines? Google hasn't revealed much so far.

"Nanosystems" came out in 1992. What book should I pick up next for more recent developments in this field?

You mentioned having used Google to find information. Why limit yourself to this one search engine? I used “Dogpile” and the search terms “diamondoid nanomachines” and found these, including your book, plus more current information:

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
