Nanoscience and nanotechnology, the application of the research-based nanoscale science, have changed significantly over the last three and a half decades.
The bucky ball, 60 carbon atoms arranged like a soccer ball, and an often-used symbol of nanotechnology, was discovered in 1985 and 4 years later scientists at IBM were able to manipulate xenon atoms on a surface.
