There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom, December 29th,
1959
What I want to talk about is the problem of manipulating and
controlling things on a small scale.
Richard P. Feynman
(1918-1988)
As soon as I mention this, people tell me about miniaturization,
and how far it has progressed today. They tell me about electric
motors that are the size of the nail on your small finger. And
there is a device on the market, they tell me, by which you can
write the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin. But that's nothing;
that's the most primitive, halting step in the direction I intend to
discuss. It is a staggeringly small world that is below. In the
year 2000, when they look back at this age, they will wonder
why it was not until the year 1960 that anybody began
seriously to move in this direction…..
It is remarkable that given enough time, the
synthetic chemist can usually synthesize
what they set out to make.
