Nanotechnology (Earth-5875)

Nanotechnology, also known as nanotech, is manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, and supramolecular scale.

History
Humans discovered nanotechnology through concepts that were first discussed in 1959 by renowned American physicist Richard Feynman, in which he described the possibility of synthesis via direct manipulation of atoms. The term "nano-technology" was first used by Japanese scientist Norio Taniguchi in 1974, though it was not widely known.
