He began with a ＂bottom up＂ approach and proposed assembling from a single molecule or even an atom to meet the requirements of the design. He indicated that the laws of physics do not rule out the possibility of making an object by atom stack and predicted that our precise control over tiny objects could significantly expand the scope of material attributes acquired by human beings. Furthermore, in his report published in 1960, Richard Feynman proposed the concept of nanosur- gery and nanodrug delivery devices for the first time and further predicted that nanotechnology will play an important role in the field of life and health sciences in the future （Feynman, 1960）.展开更多
