Abstract

In the year 1959, professor Richard Feynman prognosticated the propitious future of nanomaterials with his famous speech, saying, “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom. I can't see exactly what would happen, but I can hardly doubt that when we have some control of the arrangement of things on a small scale, we will get an enormously greater range of possible properties that substances can have, and of different things that we can do.”
