Nikhil's HTMSTM(A)A
This is a site that documents Nikhil Lal's work in the research seminar: How
to Make Something That Makes (Almost) Anything taught by Professor Neil Gershenfeld.
On these pages you will find my attempt at building a machine that automates the
central dogma of molecular biology.
A machine that makes machines. Maybe.
