Description
Speculative Technologies is a nonprofit research organization that coordinates research programs to unlock big-if-true technologies. They operate with the goal of tackling projects that are too speculative for startups, but too coordination or engineering-heavy for academia alone. In 2022, they commenced two groundbreaking programs at their organization: molecular additive manufacturing and another on scalable quantum devices. The molecular additive manufacturing program aims to engineer structures down to the nanoscale, making it a visionary endeavor.
