Famous quote by K. Eric Drexler

"I had been impressed by the fact that biological systems were based on molecular machines and that we were learning to design and build these sorts of things"

About this Quote

K. Eric Drexler's quote talks to the incredible development that has been made in the field of molecular engineering. He is revealing his appreciation for the truth that biological systems are based upon molecular makers, and that scientists are now able to create and develop these devices. This is an exceptional achievement, as it opens up a world of possibilities for the development of brand-new innovations. Molecular engineering has the prospective to change the way we approach medicine, energy production, and many other areas. Drexler's quote is a testimony to the power of science and the potential of molecular engineering. It is a suggestion of the significance of continuing to push the borders of what is possible and to strive for greater understanding of the world around us.

Donald Cram, Scientist

"After realizing that we would eventually be able to build molecular machines that could arrange atoms to form virtually any pattern that we wanted, I saw that an awful lot of consequences followed from that"

K. Eric Drexler, Scientist

"On the molecular scale, you find it's reasonable to have a machine that does a million steps per second, a mechanical system that works at computer speeds"

K. Eric Drexler, Scientist

"One of the most amazing developments in the history of biology"

Thomas Hunt Morgan, Scientist

"The next major explosion is going to be when genetics and computers come together. I'm talking about an organic computer - about biological substances that can function like a semiconductor"

Alvin Toffler, Author

"I was a close observer of the developments in molecular biology"

John Pople, Scientist

"The moment I saw the model and heard about the complementing base pairs I realized that it was the key to understanding all the problems in biology we had found intractable - it was the birth of molecular biology"
