What would happen if we could arrange the atoms one by one the way we want them?

— Richard P. Feynman

“Clearly, if atoms can be assembled to make humans, the laws of physics also permit the construction of vastly more advanced forms of sentient…

— Max Tegmark

It would not become physical science to see in its self created, changeable, economical tools, molecules and atoms, realities behind phenomena... The atom must…

— Ernst Mach

Quantum physics forms the foundation of chemistry, explaining how molecules are held together. It describes how real solids and materials behave and how electricity…

— Neil Turok

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But…

“I want to build a billion tiny factories, models of each other, which are manufacturing simultaneously… The principles of physics, as far as I…

Statistical physics or Newtonian physics gives way to quantum physics. Very unusual properties of matter emerge at that scale, and you can think about…

— Steve Jurvetson

“As the physicist Paul Davies puts it, 'If everything needs everything else, how did the communities of molecules ever arise in the first place?'…

The great problem of today is, how to subject all physical phenomena to dynamical laws. With all the experimental devices, and all the mathematical…

... chemistry is a trade for people without enough imagination to be physicists.

— Arthur C. Clarke

The whole edifice of modern physics is built up on the fundamental hypothesis of the atomic or molecular constitution of matter.
