Sword of Geddon's Tech Icon Requests

I'll attempt to give an idea of what I had in mind with some of these techs:

(Supreme Materials) renamed to Advanced Composites - We just need something that demonstrates immense tensile strength. Maybe a picture of a massive load being held off the ground by a tiny thread, along those lines.

Nano Assisted Manufacturing - Some kind of manufacturing scene. Maybe one that shows a single block of raw material being (as if by magic) converted to a finished product.

Nano motors/nanobots - Just an incredably small version of a motor or a robot. You should practically be able to see the atoms. Of course we all know that atoms are mainly made up of empty space, but I'm sure you can come up with something that looks good. ;)

Self Replication - Hmm, tricky. In an animation you could easily show exponential growth, but in a static file... I'll leave that one to you imagination.

Immortal Ethics - Very difficult to represent, as it's an idea rather than an object you can put a finger on. I might possibly have a go at something abstract myself for this, unless anyone has a bright idea. Basically the idea behind the tech is that, with clinical immortality, you would get massive amounts of people able to live effectively forever. This creates substantial pressure on society, and immortal ethics are a way of trying to deal with this.

I think that most of the others are more or less covered in some way, either by embryodead's pack or Odin and LMRs efforts.

SoG - I'll try to help out where I can anyway, but a final playtest of Alexander looms large. ;) I'd be happy to have a go at some pedia entries if and when this mod gets near to release.

To an electron microscope - which is how you view nanoscale things - atoms look like little solid balls. I think I'll be able to come up with a good icon for this. :)
 
With the present ... erm, uncertainty regarding the status of the contest, I'll just post the thing here:

D'ja like it? Just don't ask me exactly what that thing is. :)
 
That looks cool, TLC :thumbsup: kinda looks like a kids science project
It's based on an image from a symposion on nanotech, but I couldn't figure out exactly what kind of nanomechanism it is. It looks kinda like a battery, but that might be deceiving.
