The Atomically Precise Manufacturingprecise manufacturing (APM) tag(APM) is for posts about AMP, "aa proposed technology for assembling a wide variety of macroscopic objects defined by data files by using very small parts to build the objectsstructures molecule-by-molecule with atomic precision using earth-abundant materials" (Open Philanthropy Project, 2015). These posts may discuss the feasibility, benefits, and risks of this technology risks; ways to accelerate, implement, or steer this technology; or related matters. This tag can also be used for posts about the related (but distinct) concepts of nanotechnology and molecular nanotechnology.precision.
