Richard Feynmann

“There’s plenty of room at the bottom!â€. With this memorable speech, Richard Feynmann suggested the idea that no physical principles prevent us from building machines on the atomic scale, as small as few atoms. This initiated the ‘nano-technology’ revolution: physics labs all around the world are busy inventing tiny nano-machines that are changing the way we cure diseases, detect chemicals, sense electromagnetic fields, etc, etc. Physicists can nowadays design systems ‘atom by atom’: look for example at this movie made by
