Atomically precise manufacturing, that is tech for building structures atom by atom. This is starting to be done regularly in labs. Machines for making single atom transistors are a commercial product now[0]. Forming covalent bonds at desired locations through positional control of reactants has been demonstrated[1]. This is potentially more scalable than the aforementioned approach. ML seems to be enabling too[2].
