NANOTECHNOLOGY: "The Wonders That Await a Micro-Microscope" (Saturday Review, April 2, 1960; pp. 45-47) & "The Feynman Awards (Time Magazine, December 12, 1960; pp. 50 & 52)

1960. First Edition. Wraps. Very Good. Two important publications in popular press that mark early work of Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) and his work in nanotechnology. Marking the occasion of Feynman awarding the first Feynman Prize to James McLellan for his work in submicrominiaturization, the Time Magazine piece summarizes an earlier speech Feynman gave at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society on December 29, 1959, titled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom." That speech as well as the these two publications are the genesis of what would go on to become known as Nanotechnology, for which Feynman is credit as first theorizing then pursuing. 4to. Magazines. Light scuffing and wear to each, mailing lables at base of each cover. Center pages in Time Magazine edition slightly loose. (Inventory #: 31458)
