Recursive Robotic Assemblers by Smith, Miana M.

“…Biology efficiently builds across size scales: at the scale of tens of nanometers, ribosomes assemble more ribosomes, enabling the highly parallelized production of proteins that make up living systems ranging from prokaryotes at the scale of microns, to blue whales at the scale of tens of meters. At a level above ribosomes, we might consider cell division as another type of assembly process: as the size scale of the assembled parts grows, the assemblers also grow. …”
