Giants of Nanotech NFT Collection

The Richard Feynman Collection

Richard Feynman
Richard Phillips Feynman (May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model.
For contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 jointly with Julian Schwinger and Shin'ichirō Tomonaga. He participated in the Manhattan Project and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster in 1986.
Feynman was a keen popularizer of physics through both books and lectures, including a 1959 talk on top-down nanotechnology called There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom (pdf).
Feynman also became known through his autobiographical books Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
