  Fifty-eight years ago Fenman, during an American Physical Society meeting at the California Institute of Technology, anticipated the problem of modifying and governing the world of the infinitely small. He said: “What I want to talk about, is the problem of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale… What I have demonstrated is that there is room—that you can decrease the size of things in a practical way. I now want to show that there is plenty of room. I will not now discuss how we are going to do it, but only what is possible in principle… We are not doing it simply because we haven’t yet gotten around to it.” Useless to say how profound his sensibility for science was. We’ve just begun to walk in this enormous field, toward the assembly of devices atom by atom. What we did till now is still rudimentary. Anyhow we believe that L.. Read More»
