SUMMARY

The discussion centers on "Nanosystems" by Eric Drexler, focusing on diamondoid nanomachines and the current state of research in this field. Participants express interest in identifying companies and academic institutions engaged in diamondoid nanomachine research, noting that traditional search engines like Google may not yield comprehensive results. Alternative search engines such as Dogpile were suggested for broader research. Additionally, users seek recommendations for more recent literature following Drexler's seminal work from 1992.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of nanotechnology principles
  • Familiarity with diamondoid structures
  • Knowledge of molecular assembly techniques
  • Basic research skills using various search engines
NEXT STEPS

"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:
