Richard Feynman, in a talk given in 1959, stated that "The principles of physics…do not speak against the possibility of maneuvering things atom by atom. […] The problems of chemistry and biology can be greatly helped if our ability to…do things on an atomic level is ultimately developed, a developmet which I think cannot be avoided." (cf. http://www.foresight.org).
