Charlie Bennett is back! We start by chatting about the joys and challenges of hosting Nanovation. Then, within the context of the movie Terminator Genisys, which is truly awful, we discuss self-replicating nanomachines. We overview their original articulation, the scientific arguments for and against their ultimate realization, and how, in the near-term, biology is far more likely to get us.

Nanotechnology is a more precise way of doing everything — making things, assembling things, measuring things, sorting things, etc. From construction and energy to health and information technology, few industries will be immune to its influence. The Nanovation podcast is a forum to address the big questions, challenges, and opportunities of nanotechnology. Topics lie at the intersection of nanoscience, manufacturing, technology, business, and society. The podcast is conversational in format and aimed at a general, yet technically-savvy audience. Nanovation is hosted by Prof. Michael Filler from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
