What did physicist Richard Feynman discuss in his speech at the California Institute of Technology in 1959?
Richard Feynman discussed his vision of very small things and how they would behave, giving the first hint about what we now know as 'nanoscience'.
How is nanoscience defined?
Nanoscience is defined as the study of the behavior of objects at a very small scale, roughly 1 to 100 nanometers (nm).
What is the size of one nanometer in meters?
One nanometer is one billionth of a meter.
What scale does nanoscience focus on?
Nanoscience focuses on the scale of roughly 1 to 100 nanometers (nm).
What did Richard Feynman suggest about maneuvering things in his speech?
Richard Feynman suggested the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom in his speech.
