What Is Self Replicating Machine A self-replicating machine is a sort of autonomous robot that is capable of reproducing itself autonomously utilizing raw materials available in the environment. As a result, a self-replicating machine demonstrates self-replication in a manner that is akin to that which may be found in nature. The idea of self-replicating machines has been developed and investigated by Homer Jacobson, Edward F. Moore, Freeman Dyson, John von Neumann, and Konrad Zuse, as well as more recently by K. Eric Drexler in his book on nanotechnology titled Engines of Creation, as well as by Robert Freitas and Ralph Merkle in their review Kinematic Self-Replicating Machines, which provi...
Examines the horizon of ideas and technologies which must be addressed by decision makers involved in health-related resource allocation. This book addresses the technological revolution in healthcare which is manifesting itself in the convergence of molecular biology, computer and medical science, mechanical, genetic and biomedical engineering.
Extraterrestrial Altruism examines a basic assumption of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI): that extraterrestrials will be transmitting messages to us for our benefit. This question of whether extraterrestrials will be altruistic has become increasingly important in recent years as SETI scientists have begun contemplating transmissions from Earth to make contact. Technological civilizations that transmit signals for the benefit of others, but with no immediate gain for themselves, certainly seem to be altruistic. But does this make biological sense? Should we expect altruism to evolve throughout the cosmos, or is this only wishful thinking? Is it dangerous to send messages ...

"What if I were to tell you that virtually every plant species known to mankind is on the verge of going out of existence? Then what if I were to inform you that all the animals on planet earth as we know them today are being genetically altered in ways that will have dreadful irreversible side effects?"--Back cover
Nanosensors and nanorobots are not science fiction but part of nanomedicine, the newest direction in medicine. After touring medical history and defining molecular nanotechnology as the atomic-level control of molecular structures to create precisely targeted medical procedures, Freitas (Institute for Molecular Manufacturing, Palo Alto, CA) details
