The Pleasure of Finding Things Out and what lecture on nanotechnology are both authored by American physicist Richard Feynman?
There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" was a lecture given by physicist Richard Feynman at an American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. Feynman considered the possibility of direct manipulation of individual atoms as a more powerful form of synthetic chemistry than those used at the time. The talk went unnoticed and did not inspire the conceptual beginnings of the field. In the 1990s it was rediscovered and publicised as a seminal event in the field, probably to boost the history of nanotechnology with Feynman's reputation.
Quantum materials Quantum materials is a broad term to put under the same umbrella materials that present strong electronic correlations and/or some type of electronic order (superconducting, magnetic order), or materials whose electronic properties are linked to "non-generic" quantum effects, such as topological insulators, Dirac electron systems such as graphene, as well as systems whose collective properties are governed by genuinely quantum behavior, such as ultra-cold atoms , cold excitons, polaritons, etc. The label Quantum Materials has a strong overlap with Condensed Matter Physics, although the latter is a broader field of research that encompasses classical, yet non-trivial, phenomena, such as soft condensed matter. A common thread in the study of Quantum Materials is the concept of emergence, as advocated by P. W. Anderson in his famous article "More is Different", by David Pines and Robert Laughlin in their article "The theory of everything".
