Abstract:
Mike Treder: Most of the work being done today that carries the name "nanotechnology" is not nanotechnology in the original meaning of the word.

Nanotechnology, in its traditional sense, means building things from the bottom up, with atomic precision. This theoretical capability was envisioned as early as 1959 by the renowned physicist Richard Feynman.
