Brief History of Nanoscience Brief History of Nanoscience Nanoscience has a solid foundation dated back to the 5th Century B.C. B.C. Nanoscience has a solid foundation dated back to the 5th Century 5th Century B.C: Democritus and Leucippus 5th Century B.C: Democritus and Leucippus proposes Atomic proposes Atomic Theory : matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles in Theory : matter was made up of tiny, indivisible particles in constant motion. constant motion. Aristotle rejects the theory, and it was ignored for centuries Aristotle rejects the theory, and it was ignored for centuries 1808: John Dalton 1808: John Dalton concludes that all atoms of an element have the concludes that all atoms of an element have the same size and weight, and that atoms of elements unite chemicall same size and weight, and that atoms of elements unite chemically y in simple numerical ratios (as molecules) to form compounds in simple numerical ratios (as molecules) to form compounds International Association of Nanotechnology – International Association of Nanotechnology – by Lloyd L.
