Elenints

Visible only through a scanning electron microscope, tiny nanorobots called Elenints (or Nints, for short) are built in a Molecular Nanobot Factory in the space between sheets of carbon molecules. They cant move on their own, but when they detect enough identical Elenints nearby they fuse into more complex forms - releasing a special substance called Protomatter. If you plan your Nint placement carefully, placing a single Nint can initiate a cascade of combinatorial self-assembly, creating vast ...
