Substantial Practical Early Molecular Nanotechnology Tool System Using Inverted Mode STM

There is almost 1000 pages on the papers describing the work and plan for creating molecular manufacturing workstations. This work (primarily the 2026 CBN Nano paper and the closely related inverted-mode STM paper arXiv:2512.24431) demonstrates a substantial, practical portion of the early tool system needed for a Molecular Workstation as outlined in rep059.pdf (Molecular Workstation ...

SpaceX Will Be Worth More Than Earth. NOT CRAZY. Here’s the Actual Math

Can a company outgrow Earth’s economy? The claim is not crazy on long timescales. Saudi Aramco already approximates a whole nation’s economy, tech megacaps now dwarf the entire stock market of 15 years ago, and history shows step-changes in growth (0.3% agrarian → 2-3% industrial). North America’s economy became larger than the economy of Europe. ... Read more

1X Neo Humanoid Robotics Hands Match Human Capability

Ix Tech Neo has a breakthrough 25 Degree of Freedom (DOF), tendon-driven hands for the NEO humanoid platform– achieving near human-level dexterity, strength, safety, and reliability. They will mass produce them. These hands are designed to do something fundamental: remove the hardware ceiling on what humanoid robots can actually do, and make data the only ... Read more
