pramoninms
Pramoninms are a fictional class of programmable nanomachines proposed in speculative nanotechnology literature and science fiction. They are imagined as modular, reconfigurable units capable of autonomous sensing, computation, actuation, and communication, designed to operate in coordinated swarms at the nanoscale to perform complex tasks in challenging environments.
Origin and terminology: The name appears in various works and discussions; it is generally described as a
Design and capabilities: Each unit is envisioned to include a mini processing core, energy source, actuators,
Operation: Units can sense their surroundings, share information with neighbors, and reconfigure their roles to adapt
Applications and examples: In fiction, proposed uses include targeted therapeutics, in situ manufacturing, and environmental remediation.
Limitations and critique: Real-world barriers remain substantial, including power provision, error correction, reliability, biosafety, and ethical
