”Molecular Manufacturing” (på engelska) (webbplats). UnderstandingNano.com. Hawk's Perch Technical Writing, LLC. http://www.understandingnano.com/molecular-manufacturing.html. Läst 27 juni 2009. ”If you're a Star Trek fan, you remember the replicator, a device that could produce anything from a space age guitar to a cup of Earl Grey tea. Your favorite character just programmed the replicator, and whatever he or she wanted appeared. Researchers are working on developing a method called molecular manufacturing that may someday make the Star Trek replicator a reality. The gadget these folks envision is called a molecular fabricator; this device would use tiny manipulators to position atoms and molecules to build an object as complex as a desktop computer.”
