antipragmatisthi guys16:04
antipragmatisthi kanzure16:05
kanzurehi16:05
antipragmatiststill reading the docks and thinkng about it16:05
antipragmatisthave you created the next big thing yet?16:05
antipragmatista lab like yours will cost  meabout $10K?16:07
antipragmatistany nanotecgh guys here16:08
antipragmatistany nanotech guys here?  If so what are your thoughts on diamondoid process?16:09
kanzureyou have to sit and wait, not everyone is online simultaneously16:11
Stee|I'm (sort of) nanotech, but not diamondoid stuff16:12
Stee|not quite that scale :)16:12
Stee|the setup in my lab ran about 70k I think16:12
antipragmatistoh wow... I that is almost all the liquid cash i have16:14
Stee|uh16:14
Stee|notably16:14
Stee|this was paid for by a giant goddamn university16:14
Stee|and it's a tiny part of the nano/micro process16:14
Stee|this isn't diamondoid or anything useful like that16:14
Stee|on the other hand, our stages have 2nm noise detection16:15
antipragmatisthehehehe, wow, im trying to do it self... ogonna build everything myself16:15
antipragmatistnice.... can you use a vibration detector and add that noise into scanning current to compensate?16:16
antipragmatistvibration------>> signal16:17
Stee|eh16:18
antipragmatistthen add that to your scanner signal16:18
antipragmatistyou would not need any compensators?16:18
Stee|Ehhhh16:18
Stee|a) that's not really how control compensation works16:18
antipragmatistthe noise and vibration wouod be vactored in16:18
Stee|b) we don't actually need to have movement at that scale16:18
Stee|within 50nm is more than enough usually16:18
antipragmatisti see?16:19
antipragmatisti see.16:19

antipragmatistfor coarse position i think about preset.16:21
antipragmatistfor fine i use micromwter screws16:21
Stee|heh16:21
Stee|I actually have access to IP on actuators not available to market yet, but my advisor would kill me if I shared them :)16:22
Stee|probably will see them in a year or so on the market16:22
antipragmatistplease?16:22
Stee|you can't build them since I doubt you have the fab, and you can't buy them, and I respect my advisor's wishes :P16:22
antipragmatisti was thinking about linear actuators for final device16:22
Stee|what are you trying to build?16:22
-!- devrandom [~devrandom@gateway/tor-sasl/niftyzero1] has joined ##hplusroadmap16:22
antipragmatistfirst simple stm then a diamondoid16:23
Stee|what's your background?16:23
Stee|or academic knowledge in general16:23
antipragmatistsoftwareengineer, electronics hobbiests16:24
antipragmatisthobbyist16:24
antipragmatista linearactua tor would beidealic for speed16:25
Stee|eh16:29
Stee|do you have a laid out plan on how to get to actual largescale diamondoid mechanosynthesis?16:29

kanzureStee|: there's not much..16:32
kanzurehttp://diyhpl.us/~bryan/papers2/nanotech/freitas_process/notes.txt16:32
Stee|yeah, I figured not16:32
Stee|but really, dude's overly gung ho16:33
kanzurewho cares.. redirect him to something where he'd be useful16:33
kanzurelike open source software for microfluidics maybe :316:33
Stee|when I finish my thesis I won't share my paper for free, but I'll give you guys my mathematical model, annotated16:33
Stee|with full notes on where improvement might be denoted16:33
Stee|maybe not the best for sub 100nm scale, but it's a fantastic fab mechanism for scales between 100nm and 50um16:35
Stee|kanzure, where's uv gun on your ultimate fab lab list?16:38
kanzure:) that was written by someone else for make magazine i think16:45
Stee|ah16:47
Stee|I think I figured out a way to retrofit a reprap for stereolithographic layerless printing16:47
Stee|I'll investigate when I have a job (and money)16:48

Stee|also, kanz, fluidics software is nasty16:51
kanzureyep16:51
kanzurei just want something that will spit out a design in svg16:51
Stee|for what?16:51
antipragmatistwell, eventally i will create a multi positning platform for diamondoid assembky16:51
Stee|a microfluidic channel?16:51
kanzureStee|: for large-scale fluidic designs yes16:51
Stee|eg?16:51
kanzuremixers, interfaces, valves, whatever16:51
Stee|hm16:52
kanzurethere was some code in skdb.git for this a while back16:52
kanzurebut importing pythonocc for svg/microfluidics is retarded16:53
kanzurealso, building a cheapo syringe pump should be doable16:53
antipragmatistbut first, i will create a simo.e dvi e and go  ore comp.ex fro  there16:53
antipragmatisthehehe,this ones deaign he does his coarse stm positioning by hand...is that insaneor what17:17
antipragmatistthatsounfs like a crackpot design17:18
antipragmatist*sounds17:18
antipragmatistnm positioning  eye!17:19

antipragmatistis that not a funny!!!17:19
eudoxiahey antipragmatist, i've been reading your posts on the logs17:19
eudoxiaare you trying to build a scanning tunelling microscope?17:19
antipragmatistyes, i am researching now though trying to learn from other designd17:20
eudoxiai'm not sure an STM would work on diamond17:20
eudoxiaSteel i need your professional opinion here17:20
antipragmatisttrue, diamond uses afm or similar17:21
antipragmatistbut before i build afm i build stm17:21
eudoxiaSTM works on silicon whose crystalline structure is analogous to diamond17:22
antipragmatistyet meant afm?17:22
eudoxiaSilicon is easier to prepare and cheaper than diamond17:22
eudoxiaNo, STM17:22
antipragmatist* you17:22
antipragmatistok.17:22
eudoxiasilicon is conducting enough for STM to work17:22
antipragmatisti can afm anything though that is next step17:23
eudoxiayes17:23
antipragmatisti chose stm for first project becuase it seems easier17:23
eudoxiaalthough with AFM you can't really use electric effects that may be useful17:24
antipragmatisti dont want to get frustratedwith afm17:24
eudoxiaan interesting thing to do would be attempt to replicate Zyvex's patterned atomic layer epitaxy, using the STM to remove Hydrogen from a Silicon surface, then using silylane gas to grow crystal on the depassivated area17:25
antipragmatistwell, eventualineed to divise a way topick up and/or deposit atoms17:25
antipragmatistyes, that is how diamond works from what i read17:26
eudoxiasilylene*17:26
antipragmatistbut that technique seems too cumbersome for precision nanobots17:26
eudoxiai wouldn't be so sure17:26
eudoxiai've been thinking it may be a plausible alternative to mechanosynthesis17:27
eudoxiathe Minimal Toolset for Positional Diamond Mechanosynthesis requires nine tooltips to self-replicate, and about four of those are required for the mechanosynthesis17:27
antipragmatistmechnosys uses deposition of gas too17:27
eudoxiathe solution to the problem of scaling the process up to macroscale products is paralellization -- having a billion tips working in parallel17:27
eudoxiabut this doesn't scale up well when you need to paralellize nine different tooltips...17:28
eudoxiamechanosynthesis uses mechanical deposition of the carbon17:28
eudoxiai haven't read anything about gas-based mechanosynthesis17:28
antipragmatistexponentiation must be done some how17:28
eudoxiait's sort of breaks the whole point17:28
eudoxiai think Zyvex's method scales better because all you need is a single scanning tunnelling microscope tip, not nine different ones, and the tip geometry doesn't even have to be known17:29
antipragmatisturl?17:29
eudoxiai also don't know how exactly you'd remove a molecular machine part from a diamond surface after making it with mechanosynthesis17:29
eudoxiahttps://apmc.zyvex.com/17:30
eudoxiahttp://nextbigfuture.com/2008/03/zyvex-atmoically-precise-manufacturing.html17:30
antipragmatistchemical process to detach17:30
antipragmatistthankyou.17:30
eudoxiaZyvex's process specifies that a sacrificial layer of Germanium would be etched away17:30
eudoxiaapparently water does this at 90ÂșC, which is pretty fucking awesome17:31
eudoxiaI don't know how chemical separation would work with diamondoid17:31
antipragmatistsecond17:31
antipragmatisthttp://www.MolecularAssembler.com/Nanofactory/DMS.htm17:34
antipragmatisthad to get url forya17:34
antipragmatistbrb17:34
eudoxiai've been there a billion times in the past, favorite site etc etc., but it doesn't explain how to detach machine parts.17:34
eudoxiai'm pretty sure17:34
eudoxiayou can use mechanosynthesis to pattern surfaces vertically17:35
eudoxiabut for detaching, you'd have to manually use the Ge tooltips to build a sacrificial layer of Germanium17:35
eudoxiaa very tall one, at that17:35
eudoxiaand all the steps you have to go through are the main reason I'm starting to prefer patterned atomic layer epitaxy17:36
eudoxiamay Merkle have mercy on my soul17:36
antipragmatisthehehe, that is very funny ... me too though17:38
antipragmatistwell, I think we have everything we need to buikd this stuff ... we just need to work the problems17:39
antipragmatistare you a pro and independent amateur like  yself?17:40
antipragmatist*myself17:40
eudoxiaHS student with an interest in molecular manufacturing17:40

antipragmatistahyouth  what a blessing ... hehehe17:41
antipragmatistbut i am young at heart :-)17:41
antipragmatisti wish you well and great success on this endeaver and who knows perhaps you'll be the one with thenext great break through17:43
antipragmatistendeavor17:43
eudoxianothing like wasting one's youth staring at molecules in NanoEngineer :)17:43
eudoxiathank you17:43
antipragmatisthehehe true but later in life you'llbe thankfulyou did17:43
eudoxiaperhaps17:44
eudoxiakanzure or the others have already shown the NanoEngineer software right?17:44
eudoxiayou'll love it, it's for nanosystems simulation and stuff17:44
antipragmatistits nice but of nosignificant value for real life creation of devices17:45
antipragmatistelse we would havethem17:45
Stee|if you're doing atomic scale mechanosynthesis it is17:45
Stee|we don't have the means to create them, but we have the means to design them17:45
Stee|eudoxia, I honestly haven't looked much at afm/stm stuff much--been poking around a couple magnitudes higher17:45
eudoxiait would be better if you could simulate the tooltips from within the software17:46
antipragmatistthat would be nice17:46
eudoxiaif it came bundled with a few molecular dynamics and ab-initio models it would be perfect17:46
antipragmatistthe tooltip is going to be difsficult problem towork17:46
antipragmatistfirefly does abnito i think17:47
Stee|eudoxia: I may do some annotation on my printing work once I finish, but I'll probably primarily switch over to trying to understand various non-invasive BCI more17:47
Stee|and policy issues17:47
antipragmatistab-inito17:47
Stee|as those interst me more17:47
Stee|*interest17:48
eudoxiathe reasons i want ab-initio for nanoengineer are essentially: 1) too stupid to know how to use actual ab-initio software 2) i want to see if mechanosynthesis can be extended to the rest of the upper-right corner of the periodic table17:48
Stee|maybe some layerless freeform manufacturing17:48
antipragmatistwell, im off for a bit ... chat with you guys later17:49
