context: When the term "nanotechnology" was coined and popularized by Eric Drexler (he was not aware that Norio Taniguchi had ever used the term at the time), it referred to future manufacturing technology based on atomic machinery. As mentioned earlier, biological comparisons of conventional machine parts have proved that molecular machines are possible: complex, indistinguishable biomechanics can be produced by the numerous examples found in biology.
question: Who invented the term nanotech?
