The Future of Nanotechnology

Eric Drexler is often called the father of nanotechnology for his pioneering theoretical work in molecular engineering. He authored “”Engines of Creation,”” which introduced the concept of atomically precise manufacturing to a broad audience. Drexler earned the first Ph.D. in molecular nanotechnology from MIT and has been a thought leader in forecasting how nanotech could revolutionize medicine, computing and materials science. He continues to advocate for ethical and strategic development of emerging technologies through research and consulting.
