the atoms are not bonded to the surface just adsorbed and a small change in temperature or
pressure will dislodge them. Since this demonstration, significant advances have been made in
nanomanufacturing.
The discovery of the STM's ability to image variations in the density distribution of surface
state electrons created in the artists a compulsion to have complete control of not only the atomic
