Overview
“Where nanotechnology comes from?” is the mysterious question for students. To answer this question, we need to look back at when Feynman gave a lecture in regards to nanotechnology-” There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”. Substantial modification in microscopic scale of material science happened by inventing Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). After that, atomic structure of material in nanoscale was recorded with high resolution. It enables us to work in nanoscales. Do not overlook Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and fullerene influence in nanotechnology.
