//**Grey goo**//, or //**gray goo**//, is a term to refer to a hypothetical [|end-of-the-world] event involving [|molecular nanotechnology] in which out-of-control [|self-replicating] robots consume all living matter on [|Earth] while building more of themselves (a scenario known as [|ecophagy]). The term is usually used in a [|science fiction] context. In a worst-case scenario, all of the matter in the [|universe] could be turned into goo (with "goo" meaning a large mass of replicating nanomachines lacking large-scale structure, which may or may not actually appear [|goo]-like), killing the universe's residents. The disaster is posited to result from an accidental [|mutation] in a self-replicating nanomachine used for other purposes, or possibly from a deliberate [|doomsday device].
