At the Building Block Level

Only within the last few years has much of the vision of Richard Feynman’s now famous lecture on December 29th , 1959 at the American Physical Society meeting held at the California Institute of Technology, “There’s plenty of room at the bottom,” been realized. To a significant degree, this has been due to the relatively recent advances in chemistry, physics, materials science, and engineering that needed to precede the development of the kinds of technologies and applications Feynman eluded to in his talk.
