First one was on using a STM to create an atomic size diode -

"A Small, Small, Very Small Diode"
Science, 8 December 1989. Page 1251

Second one was on using the self-organizing capabilities of
Microtubles in cytoskeleton (tubilin) to create interesting structure
- like the BZ reaction:

"Spatial Patterns from Oscillating Microtubules"
Eckhard Mandelkow, et al, Science, 8 December 1989, 1291-1293.

This is the first example that I know of where people have actually
studied self-organizing Belousov-Zhabotinskii-like structure dynamics.
Morphogenesis of biological structure via linear diffusions was
studied by Turing, and there have been a lot of high-level discussion
of morphogenesis by nonlinear (dissipative in Prigogene eyes)
mechanisms, but none with actual mechanisms (as far as I know). This
is a good first.

More bottom-up approaches to nanotechnology!
