A molecular manufacturing technology will let us build molecular surgical tools, and those tools will, for the first time, let us directly address the problems at the very root level. – Ralph Merkle
We can grow crops less expensively because molecular manufacturing technology is inherently low cost. – Ralph Merkle
The laws of physics should allow us to arrange things molecule by molecule and even atom by atom, and at some point it was inevitable that we would develop a technology that would let us do this. – Ralph Merkle
If you look at the various strategies available for dealing with a new technology, sticking your head in the sand is not the most plausible strategy. – Ralph Merkle
