Nanotechnology

The ideas that seeded nanotechnology were first mentioned in 1959 by well known physicist Rich Feynman in his discuss There's A lot of Space at the Base, in which he described the likelihood of features via immediate adjustment of atoms. The phrase "nano-technology" was first used by Norio Taniguchi in 1974, though it was not commonly known.
Inspired by Feynman's ideas, K. Eric Drexler individually used the phrase "nanotechnology" in his 1986 guide Google of Creation: The Arriving Era of Nanotechnology, which suggested the concept of a nanoscale "assembler" which would be able to develop a duplicate of itself and of other products of irrelavent complexness with nuclear management. Also in 1986, Drexler co-founded The Knowledge Institution (with which he is no more affiliated) to help improve attention and knowing of nanotechnology ideas and effects.
