Drexler (Eric Drexler)

Eric Drexler is a scientist and engineer known for popularizing the concept of nanotechnology—tiny machines built at a molecular scale. He envisions these nanoscale devices capable of performing precise tasks, like repairing cells or manufacturing materials atom-by-atom, leading to revolutionary advances in medicine, materials, and energy. His work emphasizes the potential for extraordinary capabilities but also raises questions about safety and ethics. Drexler's ideas have inspired both scientific research and debates about the future impact of advanced nanotechnology on society.
