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:

I have Mass A being pulled vertically. I have Mass B on an incline that is pulling Mass A. There is a 2:1 pulley between them. The math I'm using is: FA = MA / 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If MB is greater then FA, it pulls FA up as MB moves down the incline. BUT... If I reverse the 2:1 pulley. Then the math changes to... FA = MA * 2 = ? t-force MB * SIN(of the incline degree) = ? If FA is greater then MB, it pulls MB up the incline as FA moves down. It's confusing...
