 Please join us for our January 2026 CVT meeting.\n\nWe will again meet on 
 the University of Texas at Dallas campus in the SPN.1 building.\nOur meeti

 und 11:30 AM.\n\nLunch: We continue to provide a lunch option for our meet
 ings.\n\nPrepay via the IEEE website\,\nIEEE Members $15.00\nIEEE Life Mem

 cision: The Next Industrial Revolution Enabled by Digital Fabrication at t
 he Atomic Scale&quot;\nSpeaker: John N. Randall\, CEO of Zyvex Labs\nDate:  Jan
 uary 20\, 2026\nLocation: UTD Synergy Park North Building\; 3000 Waterview
 \, Richardson\, TX\nDirections: NE Corner Synergy Park Blvd and Steward Dr
 .\nLunch Cost: see below.\n\nAbstract: Human ingenuity is arguably limitle
 ss. Human technological progress is limited manufacturing precision. I wil
 l cite several historical examples where important technologies were not o
 nly conceived of but actually prototyped centuries before manufacturing pr
 ecision allowed these inventions to impact economies and societies.\n\nRic
 hard Feynman in his famous “There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom” lec
 ture in 1959 described what might be possible working at the molecular and
  atomic scale. Eric Drexler in 1986 conceived mechanosynthesis technology 
 that could create a huge array of materials and products with orders of ma
 gnitude better capabilities than even technologies in 2026.\n\nI never met
  Feynman but have the great fortune to meet and know Drexler. I suggested 
 to Eric in the early 2000s that his mechanosynthesis was in fact a digital
  technology. He indicated that this was only an analogy that would appeal 
 to electrical engineers and was not an important distinction.\n\nToday\, I
  will argue that we are on the precipice of another industrial revolution 
 and a 2nd Digital revolution\, this time in fabrication rather than inform
 ation. However\, it will only succeed if we develop tools with atomic scal
 e\, or perhaps more accurately molecular bond length precision. My concept
 ion of how this will happen will take advantage of quantum mechanics using
  a tool invented in the early 1980s.\n\nBio:\n\nJohn N. Randall\, CEO of Z
 yvex Labs\, Executive VP of Teliatry\, Adjunct Professor at UT Dallas\, an
 d Fellow of the AVS\, IEEE\, and Micro Nano Engineering Society\, has over
  40 years of experience in Micro- and Nano- Fabrication. He has attracted 
 over $48M in research contracts to Zyvex and resulting products have gross
 ed over $850M. He joined Zyvex in March of 2001 after 15 years at Texas In
 struments where he worked in high resolution processing for integrated cir
 cuits\, MEMS\, and quantum effect devices. He fabricated the world&#39;s first
  semiconductor quantum dot. Prior to working at TI\, John worked at MIT&#39;s 
 Lincoln Laboratory on ion beam and x-ray lithography. He has 126 articles 
 published in refereed journals\, more than 85 conference proceedings and o
 ther publications and 36 issued US Patents with a total of 6613 citations.
