Nanoscience – from manipulation of atoms to human needs

Nanoscience and nanotechnology are an extrapolation from the field of microtechnology to the atomic level. The development is based on the 60-year-old message of R. Feynman, ‘There's plenty of room at the bottom’. His vision has fertilised at the turn of the millennium with the announcement of...
