MSEP

What are you trying to do?We want to design a user-friendly nanotechnology design system that includes beautiful visualization and molecular dynamics.How is it done today?No similar system exists today.What is new in your approach?We have a well-funded project with an experienced project manager who has experience in visualization and game design that can gather a team. We have known interest from people with experience in Python/machine learning.If you are successful, what difference will it make?Encourage the advancement of nanotechnology R&D by making it accessible to the general public and citizen scientists.Cost and Timeline?It will cost $200k-300k for a minimal viable product, with a full version (continuous maintenance) requiring $1m per year. The time for first demo – four to six months. Actual implementation must start Aug 1, 2022. Final version will be ongoing.What are the midterm and final exams to check for completeness?Midterm (create a demo; demo oriented development): Build a way to take existing components that dense covalent structures Eric Drexler made in the 90s and make them well simulated and understood. Allow people to create more complex machines and have an accurate simulation as if you could build it. Simulate it in close-real time. It shouldn’t be a rehash of what people have already seen. The final exam will be the ongoing maintenance of the project.
