The Birth of Nanotechnology On December 29, 1959, Richard Feynman gave a talk entitled “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom” Feynman suggested that it should be possible, in principle, to make nanoscale machines that "arrange the atoms the way we want", and do chemical synthesis by mechanical manipulation.
