"In the last 10 years, we have developed tools so we can take atoms from

a position in a bulk material and put them in a different location. We
can take interfaces between two materials; engineer them in a way so
that atom by atom we can manipulate their properties."

--Subra Suresh

agreement with what you're teaching. There are lots of reasons to resist
