Miniaturization (or often spelt 'miniaturisation') is a continuing trend in technology toward ever-smaller scales for first mechanical, then optical and most recently electronic devices. The trend can be traced back to ancient times both as an abstract science and a physical practice, beginning with atomic theories of the nature of matter and the use of early microscopes and leading, centuries later, to the current sciences of nanotechnology and molecular nanotechnology.
