E. Eric Drexler, a pioneer of nanotechnology research, imagined a nightmare scenario in his 1986 book "Engines of Creation."

"Imagine such a replicator floating in a bottle of chemicals, making copies of itself," he said. "The first replicator assembles a copy in one thousand seconds, the two replicators then build two more in the next thousand seconds, the four build another four, and the eight build another eight. At the end of ten hours, there are not thirty-six new replicators, but over 68 billion. In less than a day, they would weigh a ton; in less than two days, they would outweigh the Earth."

He coined the now-famous term "gray goo" that refers to the catastrophic replication of nanobots that ultimately consume all biomass.

We, the Dutch, have ASML to rule all A.I.


But we want more.
We will maintain superpower status for decades to come.

Ambitions have been set this week. Goverment coins are rolling.

Photonic chips, its the nxt thing, and the Dutch will rule it.

A central goal in quantum optics and photonics is to increase the strength of the interaction between light and matter to produce, for example, better photodetectors or quantum light sources. The best way to do that is to use optical resonators that store light for a long time, making it interact more strongly with matter. If the resonator is also very small, such that light is squeezed into a tiny region of space, the interaction is enhanced even further. The ideal resonator would store light for a long time in a region at the size of a single atom.

Using 3D printing and porous silicon, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed compact, visible wavelength achromats that are essential for miniaturized and lightweight optics. These high-performance hybrid micro-optics achieve high focusing efficiencies, while minimizing volume and thickness. Further, these microlenses can be constructed into arrays to form larger area images for achromatic light-field imagers and displays.
