Mechanosynthesis Trajectories
Mechanosynthesis trajectories are described which are approximately coaxial, and are shown to be useful in a wide range of mechanosynthesis reactions regardless of the nature of the tip or the feedstock being transferred.
1 . A method of mechanosynthesis comprising:
performing a mechanosynthetic reaction on a workpiece using a tip wherein the mechanosynthetic reaction occurs within 10 degrees of coaxial.
2 . The method of claim 1 wherein said workpiece is three-dimensional.
