MSEP: What, Why, and How?

Eric Drexler, Cofounder of Foresight Institute, spoke about the Molecular Systems Engineering Platform (MSEP), his vision for a nanotechnology development organization that will accelerate progress in the field. Since 1992, complex molecular machines have been designed and yet have not been constructed. The foundation of the organization rests on a new wave of emerging design software. Gamifying the design process and spreading it out through the community would enable many people to get directly engaged with nanotechnology concepts in a fun way, pulling more people into the field and growing the network. It has recently received funding, and he is looking for dedicated and intelligent people to help make this project a reality.
