K. Eric Drexler developed and popularized the concept of nanotechnology and founded the field of molecular nanotechnology.

This new idea demonstrated that Feynman’s hypotheses have been proven correct, and for these reasons, he is considered the father of modern nanotechnology.

2024年3月12日 · Dr. Richard E. Smalley (June 6, 1943 – October 28, 2005) discovered and characterized fullerenes, and became an unceasing advocate for nanotechnology and its applications across a broad swath of society.

2005年10月30日 · Richard Smalley, the Nobel Prize-winning chemist who was the co-creator of the miniature spheres of carbon called buckyballs and who is widely considered the father of nanotechnology, died...

2015年11月26日 · It is for these reasons that he is considered the father of modern nanotechnology. Almost 15 years after Feynman’s lecture, a Japanese scientist, Norio Taniguchi, was the first to use “nanotechnology” to describe semiconductor processes that occurred on the order of a nanometer.

On June 6, 1943, American chemist and physicist Richard Errett Smalley was born. He is sometimes also referred to as ‘Father of Nanotechnology’. Richard Smalley shared the 1996 Nobel Prize for Chemistry with Robert Curl, Jr., and Harold W. Kroto for their joint 1985 discovery of carbon60 and the fullerenes.

2021年9月13日 · The father of nanotechnology is considered to be American physicist Richard Feynman. He introduced the concept in 1959, during his talk, “There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom”. He didn’t use the term ‘nanotechnology’ per se, but he did describe a process where scientists could manipulate and control atoms and molecules.

The revolutionary new field of nanotechnology began in 1985 at Rice University in the research laboratory of Richard Smalley, Ph.D. He and two colleagues, Dr. Robert Curl and Sir Harold Kroto, were working with carbon, an element that was known to exist in only two forms - either as diamond or graphite. During their

2013年6月25日 · We were sad to learn that our field lost its founder, when our friend and champion Dr. Heinrich Rohrer passed on last month. Heine was always a positive force, encouraging young nanoscientists wherever he went.

2022年2月24日 · Eric Drexler, known as the father of nanotechnology, has published a paper that admits that self-replicating machines are not vital for large-scale molecular manufacture, and that nanotechnology-based fabrication can be thoroughly non-biological and inherently safe.
