1. Handbook of Nanoscience, Engineering, and Technology, Third Edition

   Edited by William A. Goddard III, Donald Brenner, Sergey E. Lyshevski, Gerald J Iafrate

   In his 1959 address, "There is Plenty of Room at the Bottom," Richard P. Feynman speculated about manipulating materials atom by atom and challenged the technical community "to find ways of manipulating and controlling things on a small scale." This visionary challenge has now become a reality,...
