Femtotechnology

Femtotechnology is a term used in reference to the hypothetical manipulation of matter on the scale of a femtometer, or 10 m. This is three orders of magnitude lower than picotechnology, at the scale of 10 m, and six orders of magnitude lower than nanotechnology, at the scale of 10 m. TheoryWork in the femtometer range involves manipulation of excited energy states within atomic nuclei, specifically nuclear isomers, to produce metastable (or otherwise stabilized) states with unusual properties.
