'''Nanotechnology''' is any [[science]] or [[technology]] that works at the nanoscale($10^-9$ meters)molecular level. The idea was first proposed by One example of nanotechnology is the nobel prize winning physicist Richard Feynman<ref>http://www.zyvex.com/nanotech/feynman.html Plenty creation of room at 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 bottom</ref>complexity of life.
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.
