Norio Taniguchi (谷口 紀男, Taniguchi Norio, May 27, 1912 – November 15, 1999) was a professor of Tokyo University of Science.
He coined the term nano-technology in 1974[1] 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."[2]Taniguchi started his research on abrasive mechanisms of high precision machining of hard and brittle materials.
