Anthropomorphic Synthesis: How Do Chemists Have This Much Free Fucking Time? :V

[Ricky]

This is a paper I found pretty interesting, but it makes me wonder just... WHY WHY WHY

Apparently scientists have found a way to make anthropomorphic people molecules, let's call them "nano people" such as nano kid, here:

They can even give them different heads:

If you want, they can also dance for you:

Or self-assemble on a substrate like gold, in case you have to make a nano army of people molecules:

 

 

 

WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF, NEXT?

But it does beg the question:

Does size matter?

It's dated 2003 so I'd imagine that's been done already. If not, why not?!

This is amazing

Thank you for sharing this

I just found a new fetish. Hello, fan art. Here I come!

Yeah it is pretty old and nothing in it was particularly new or even advanced for the time when it was written.

And you know why not, if they do that everyone will start complaining about the lack of accuracy around the genetailia :V

I've seen micro and macro porn before.

This is something different.

Why though? What point is there for something like this? Heck, I've probably wasted enough time as it is just reading the article.

According to them, it was so the standard layman can relate to the paper but I don't see how aside from "LOL, PEOPLE MOLECULES!" I don't think it is very productive, so yeah I agree x3

C'mon chemists, get your shit together.

Maybe they were trying to go for the whole C60 buckeyball effect which won the Nobel prize? (and is much more practical as opposed to "LOL, PEOPLE MOLECULES." I mean, more recently that shape has even been discovered to form on its own, like the cesium ones at Fukushima. There will never be a practical use for nano people, aside from maybe putting on a nano puppet show.
