Interesting read. I'm not sure how I feel about it and know nothing about the scientific considerations, costs, etc. But just want to say it's giving Star Trek replicator vibes. And I do love Star Trek. Though Star Trek replicators are pretty magicky, so something that looks like a step in that direction might not be the most sensible for-real tech? Still curious to see how it goes.
