Nanotechnology will let us build computers that are incredibly powerful. Well have more power in the volume of a sugar cube than exists in the entire world today. – 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 we can reduce the cost and improve the quality of medical technology through advances in nanotechnology, we can more widely address the medical conditions that are prevalent and reduce the level of human suffering. – Ralph Merkle
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
