Nanotechnology: There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom This is the transcript of the classic talk that Richard Feynman gave on December 29th 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at Caltech and was first published in the February 1960 issue of Caltech’s Engineering and Science.
In this famous lecture, Feynman laid the conceptual foundations for the field now called nanotechnology when he imagined a day when things could be miniaturized — when huge amounts of information could be encoded onto increasingly small spaces, and when machinery could be made considerably smaller and more compact.
Caltech is no stranger to the idea of nanotechnology, the ability to manipulate matter at the atomic and molecular level. Over 40 years ago, Caltech's own Richard Feynman asked, "What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them?"
A 1959 lecture by Richard Feynman has become an important document in the history of nanotechnology but, as Chris Toumey reports, there are disagreements about when it became important, and why.
