2. Nanotechnology is the creation of
useful/functional materials, devices and
systems and exploitation of novel phenomena
and properties on the nanometer length
scale .
6. In 1959, physicist and future Nobel prize
winner Richard Feynman gave a lecture to
the American Physical Society called “There's
Plenty of Room at the Bottom” providing
inspiration for the field of nanotechnology.
In 1986, K. Eric Drexler wrote "Engines of
Creation" and introduced the term
nanotechnology.
