When famed physicist Richard Feynman posited in 1959 at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society, Why can t we write the entire 24 volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica on the head of a pin? he was envisioning what would become nanotechnology.
At the time, Feynman offered $1,000 to the first person who could reduce the page of a book to 1/25,000 linear scale, essentially readable only by an electron microscope.
Feynman finally was forced to pay up a quarter-century later by a graduate student at Stanford University, Thomas H. Newman, who shrunk the first page of Charles Dickens A Tale of Two Cities. But it wasn t until 1991 when the theory of nanotechnology was propelled into existence by Japanese researcher Sumi Iijima, working with NEC Corp., with the discovery of the nanotube a carbon-based filler that offers exceptional performance improvements in electrical condu
