Everything about Norio Taniguchi totally explained

Norio Taniguchi (谷口紀男) (27 May1912 - 15 November 1999) was a professor of Tokyo Science University. He coined the term nanotechnology in 1974 to describe semiconductor processes such as thin film deposition and ion beam milling exhibiting characteristic control on the order of a nanometer: "‘Nano-technology’ mainly consists of the processing of separation, consolidation, and deformation of materials by one atom or one molecule."
   Taniguchi started his research on abrasive mechanisms of high precision machining of hard and brittle materials. At Tokyo Science University, he went on to pioneer the application of energy beam techniques to ultra precision materials processing; these included electro discharge, microwave, electron beam, photon (laser) and ion beams.

Professor Taniguchi was the recipient of Euspen's 1st Lifetime Achievement Award which was presented in Bremen, May 1999.
   The citation on Professor Taniguchi's award read: "In recognition of his unique and outstanding contributions to research and development in the ultra precision materials processing technologies and in 1974, being the first to formulate and use the term Nanotechnology. Through his vision, writings and example of total dedication to his field of endeavour he's stimulated the development of what will be one of the dominant technologies of the 21st Century."Further Information
