Hylonanotech - Data Panel
Definition: mechanical assembler-based nanotechnology using non-organic components A few alternative terms: Hylonano, Nanites Level: Ultratech to basic Transapientech Substrate: varies Application: almost any use Distribution and Availability: found in all The Sephirotics and other major metaempires, almost all Deeper Covenant polities, among most xenosophont empires, as well as in most regions outside the main spheres of influence. Legal Status: Basic templates and genomes public domain; restricted templates and genomes available for wealthy, powerful, or in many Free Zones; proscribed templates and genomes can be had outside angelnetted and supervised polities for those who know where to look. The NoCoZo have the most liberal laws and freest restrictions. Environmental Requirements: depends on optimal tolerance of device in question. Generally more robust than biotech or sytech Ease of Use; Care and Maintenance: Requires little care to operate, but original design may be extremely complex. Depends on dedicated hyperturing or angelnet management Popular With: Many clades and phyles of sapient grade and above, especially vec and some ai clades and phyles. Especially popular with the Diamond Network and Objectivist ai and polities. |
Hylonanotech is so variable in manufacture, use, and application, and substrate, that there is no single standard to define it, other than atomically precise manipulation and hyperturing (or equivalent) complexity management. Some is purely vat-based, other variants are assembler based, others again are goo or paste types, and so on.
Additionally, some are diamondoid, some TiC, others sapphiroid/corundumoid, and others will be yet other materials. Some are purely mechanical, others gamma-based, still others magnetically-driven.
Mini-bot - Nanotech-based collapsible robot
Vacuum Dirigible - Lighter-than-air flying machine built around the use of nanotech constructed materials
