#Nanotechnology is the science of studying and manipulating supra molecules, atoms and molecules. It is called ‘nano’ tech because it deals with the matter sized between 1 to 100 nanometers. This field is highly used in various areas like molecular engineering, organic chemistry, semiconductor physics, surface science, microfabrication, molecular biology, etc. This is a complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. And it is veryimportant for students who are looking for a new technology of nanotechnology. #PRINCIPLES OF NANOTECHNOLOGY: MOLECULAR BASED STUDY OF CONDENSED MATTER IN SMALL SYSTEMS. #Introduction to the fascinating subject of bottom-up nanotechnology with emphasis on the molecular-based study of condensed matter in small systems. #Nanotechnology has its roots in the landmark lecture delivered by the famous Nobel Laureate physicist, #Richard Feynman, on 29 December 1959 entitled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom." By the mid-1980s, it had gained real momentum with the invention of scanning probe microscopes. Today, nanotechnology promises to have a revolutionary impact on the way things are designed and manufactured in the future.Principles of Nanotechnology is self-contained and unified in presentation. It may be used as a textbook by graduate students and even ambitious undergraduates in engineering, and the biological and physical sciences who already have some familiarity with quantum and statistical mechanics. It is also suitable for experts in related fields who require an overview of the fundamental topics in nanotechnology. The explanations in the book are detailed enough to capture the interest of the curious reader, and complete enough to provide the necessary background material needed to go further into the subject and explore the research literature. Due to the interdisciplinary nature of nanotechnology, a comprehensive glossary is included detailing abbreviations, chemical formulae, concepts, definitions, equations and theories.

Foresight Institute Feynman Prizes were established to honor the visionary ideas of physicist Richard Feynman, whose 1959 lecture, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom," laid the foundation for what we now recognize as nanotechnology. Feynman imagined a future where molecular machines could assemble atomically precise structures, fundamentally transforming technology and industry. To encourage breakthroughs toward this vision, Foresight Institute introduced the Feynman Prizes, which recognize outstanding achievements in both theoretical and experimental advancements in nanotechnology. Since their inception in the early 1990s, these prizes have sought to motivate researchers to pursue Feynman's goal of molecular manufacturing. The goal is to drive the development of atomically precise products using nanoscale machines—a milestone that promises to revolutionize fields such as medicine, materials science, and manufacturing. The prizes have grown to include multiple categories that reflect the breadth of this field: theory, experimentation, and contributions by students. The Feynman Grand Prize, the most ambitious of the awards, was established in 1996 to specifically reward the team that can design and build nanoscale devices that meet certain criteria. Although it remains unclaimed, the $250,000 prize continues to inspire innovation in the race toward functional nanomachines. Alongside the Grand Prize, the Theory and Experiment prizes provide recognition and funding to researchers advancing molecular manufacturing through theoretical models or experimental breakthroughs. These prizes not only offer financial rewards but also public acknowledgment and invitations to prestigious technical workshops, providing a platform for innovators to share their work with the broader scientific community. By offering these incentives, Foresight Institute hopes to accelerate progress toward Feynman’s dream and encourage a new era of nanotechnological development.
