Disassemblers

In the mid 70's I was working on the Shoe Box computer with 16 Intel 8086 Processor Board. The assembler run on the PDP 11 Mini computer & the RT 11 Operating System, sometime take 1/2 a day to execute the code.

The article below is the Disassemblers for Nano-Computers.

These is something at the Nano-Electronics level.

Imagine, everything is at the Atom & Electron level.

My vision is that these is not the end. As soon as the Nano-Tech matured, Pico-Tech will emerge. As the applications of "Positron", "Negatron" are still in it infancy.



Disassemblers

Molecular computers will control molecular assemblers, providing the swift flow of instructions needed to direct the placement of vast numbers of atoms. Nanocomputers with molecular memory devices will also store data generated by a process that is the opposite of assembly.

Assemblers will help engineers synthesize things; their relatives, disassemblers, will help scientists and engineers analyze things. The case for assemblers rests on the ability of enzymes and chemical reactions to form bonds, and of machines to control the process. The case for disassemblers rests on the ability of enzymes and chemical reactions to break bonds, and of machines to control the process. Enzymes, acids, oxidizers, alkali metals, ions, and reactive groups of atoms called free radicals - all can break bonds and remove groups of atoms. Because nothing is absolutely immune to corrosion, it seems that molecular tools will be able to take anything apart, a few atoms at a time. What is more, a nanomachine could (at need or convenience) apply mechanical force as well, in effect prying groups of atoms free.

A nanomachine able to do this, while recording what it removes layer by layer, is a disassembler. Assemblers, disassemblers, and nanocomputers will work together. For example, a nanocomputer system will be able to direct the disassembly of an object, record its structure, and then direct the assembly of perfect copies, And this gives some hint of the power of nanotechnology.
