Nanotechnology
From Conservapedia
Nanotechnology is any technology that works at the atomic or molecular level. The idea was first proposed by the nobel prize winning physicist Richard Feynman[1].
There are ways of creating a piece of nanotechnology. The 'Top Down' method involves taking a larger object and removing parts to create a smaller structure similar to creating a statue from a block of stone. 'Bottom Up' nano technology means assembling a object from smaller parts, similar to building a statue out of Lego[2] [3].
One example of nanotechnology is the creation of tiny robots capable of manipulating individual molecules of a substance. Some science fiction novels such as Greg Bear's Slant postulate a future shaped by nanotechnology with the complexity of life.
