Michael Shaw comments on Richard P. Feynman's famous talk, "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" His classical talk has been referred to in many informative articles on Nanotechnology and Nanostructured materials, and many scientists and technologists can recite various quotes from the pages of this visionary's gaze into the near future. Michael takes these visions and compares them with today's nanotechnology.

Paula Crawford's page goes into breif introductions to classes, synthesis, microstructure, properties, and applications of nanostructured materials. Her page references many other first year Nanostructured Materials pages.
