3. Some nanohistory A nanometer is one billionth of a meter Nanotechnolgy is building machines one atom at a time First described by Nobel lauriate physicist Richard Feynman In 1959 he gave a lecture called "There's plenty of room at the bottom" in which he suggested that the laws of physics would allow people to use small machines to make smaller machines eventually onto the atomic level The first one to coin the term is K. Eric Drexler, one time student of Feynman's With the invention of the scanning tunneling microscope and the atomic force microscope, scientists were allowed to not only take photographs of single atoms but also to move atoms one by one.
