Femtotechnology

Femtotechnology is hypothetical engineering at the femtometer scale — the size of atomic nuclei — manipulating nucleons and exotic states of matter far below the atomic scale of nanotechnology.

Long-horizon — largely theoretical today
Why it matters

If ever realized, it could unlock energy densities and material properties utterly beyond current technology.

Where it stands

Entirely theoretical; it lies far beyond any known experimental capability.

How ASIZ approaches it

The discovery loop, applied.

Through the Matter & Materials center, ASIZ aims the discovery loop at femtotechnology: frontier models survey the literature and simulate the possibilities, rank the experiments most likely to resolve the open questions, and partner labs run the decisive ones — with results shared openly.
