Blog on Nanotechnology in Electronics The ideas and concepts behind nanoscience and nanotechnology started with a talk entitled There’s a plenty of room at the bottom” by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) on December 29, 1959, long before the term nanotechnology was used. In his talk, Feynman described a process in which scientists would be able to manipulate and control individual atoms and molecules. Over a decade later, in his explorations of ultraprecision machining, Professor Norio Taniguchi coined the term nanotechnology. It wasn't until 1981, with the development of the scanning tunneling microscope that could "see" individual atoms, that modern nanotechnology began Nano-materials are miniaturization of materials. Building of machines at the molecular scale that involves the manipulation of materials on an atomic scale were about two-tenths of a nanometer is called Nanotechn...
