Replicator Technology Being Funded?

While I can't say that it's so good for my line of work, it's still pretty cool: "Finally experiments have been funded to test the viability of diamond mechanosynthesis... MNT-built diamond products can be at least ten times stronger than steel, 100 times stronger than aluminum or plastic... The experimental proof of the nine molecular tools are the first funded steps on a journey of 27 years. " It's a bit far off. (Next Big Future)
