Читать книгу Planning and Executing Credible Experiments - Robert J. Moffat - Страница 43

The desire to better understand how our world works invites us to credible experiments. Beyond measuring, we predict what we expect to measure. Our interest may be our company's factory floor, economics and marketing, agriculture and environment, medicine, information, engineering and technology, climate, or the sciences biology, chemistry, and physics.

Richard Feynman in his lecture “There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom” (1959) invited scientists into a new field which we now call “nanoscience.” The launch of nanoscience has led to innovative products that affect our daily lives. Nanoscience, as a research field, reaches from measuring individual atoms within molecules, to manipulating atoms, to fluid nano‐arrays for medical and pharmaceutical tests and beyond.
