I think it’s in Chapter 12 of Drexler’s Nanosystems, which may be worth citing regardless. ETA: or to read about it online, Chapter 11 of his MIT dissertation linked at the top.
Yes, that’s where I got the figure (the printed book). The opening chapter lists a bunch of other figures of merit for other applications (strength of materials, power density, etc.)
I’ve seen this before but now I can’t find it. Do you have a link?
