<pie_> i wonder if you could do something like do some kind of self-assembly chemistry just by changing the ambient environment
<pie_> so like...the idea would be that you dont do any (or barely any) patterning at all, just some sequence of exposures
<pie_> presumably it would be a time-precision tradeoff, and idk how youd do controlled symmetry breaking/positioning/specifying starting growth precision
<pie_> maybe that can be avoided *shrug*
<pie_> something like SLD i suppose
<pie_> *ALD
<pie_> dont anybody go stealing my patent :P
<SpeedEvil> 'yes'
<SpeedEvil> It's called life
<pie_> SpeedEvil, well sure
<pie_> not really what i was going for
<pie_> meanwhile im trying to find a tool/internet database or something that will let me browse citation graphs :/

<nmz787> SpeedEvil: but life starts from a 'seed' of complexity... I take it pie_ is talking about starting from relatively pure/simple reagents
<nmz787> pie_: I've wondered about growing DNA using ALD
<pie_> even assuming something like this could be done i figure general physical noise will cause all kinds of issues
<nmz787> there are definitely semiconductor folks looking at self-assembly
<nmz787> making photomasks with things like DNA origami
