The Evolution of Nanotechnology

From theory to industrial revolution

1959

The concept of nanotechnology was first introduced by physicist Richard Feynman in 1959, in his famous lecture 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom'. Since then, nanotechnology has made extraordinary progress.

1980s

In the 1980s, the invention of the Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) and the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) made it possible for the first time to visualize and manipulate individual atoms and molecules.

Today

Today nanotechnology is applied in numerous sectors: from medicine to pharmaceuticals, from electronics to energy, from aerospace to construction. Econanosil represents the forefront of nanotechnology application in the thermal insulation sector.
