Nanotechnology 納米技術(shù)

Nanites, or tiny robots built on the small scale, were a concept first realized in science fiction and later researched by scientists in the hopes of making these minute robots a reality. Sometimes called nanomachines, nanorobots, or nanobots, these robots will one day have many real-life applications. Perhaps one of the first science fiction writers to imagine nanotechnology was Nikolai Leskov, whose 1881 story described imperceptible robots, requiring 5,000,000 times magnification to be seen.

納米人，或小尺寸微型機(jī)器人的概念最早出現(xiàn)在科幻小說中，后來被科學(xué)家所研究，希望能將這一概念變?yōu)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)。這種機(jī)器人有時(shí)也被稱作nanomachines、nanorobots或nanobots，未來它們將在生活中有很多應(yīng)用。首次暢想納米技術(shù)的科幻作家可能是尼古拉·列斯克夫，他在1881年的一個(gè)故事中曾描述過這種難以察覺的機(jī)器人，需要放大500萬倍才能看見。
