Technology is advancing at an exponential rate often called the "Law of Accelerating Returns." If futurist predictions prove correct, we'll have advanced molecular manufacturing by around 2025, and possibly the replacement of humanity by vastly advanced machines a decade or two later.
This is a chronicle of our journey to that future, one advancing technology article at a time. I post the more significant and interesting articles as I come across them.

MIT invents method to shrink objects to nanoscale using basic lab equipment
Using a laser to shrink simple objects to 1/1000 of its original size:
This one's made the rounds. Lifeboat posted it on their blog three times in one day.
They say the nano-scale accuracy went down as they tried to build bigger objects. Well, if they tried to take smaller objects, say a micron, and scale that down, they should get to 1 nanometer accuracy. Then, with massive parallelism . . . .
