Nobel Laureate and American physicist Richard Feynman created the concept of nanotechnology in his 1959 lecture.
In that lecture "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" suggests that machines can be used to construct molecular-level structures.
Although he didn’t mention “nanotechnology” at that time, his ideas laid the foundation for the field of nanotechnology.
Norio Taniguchi, a Japanese physicist coined the word "nanotechnology" in 1974 to describe the machining of materials at the atomic and molecular size
Today, nanotechnology has grown into a rapidly developing subject with several applications in fields such as medicine, electronics, and energy.
