Atomic assembly

Ti-O-V. Not doable? Well think again. If we force the molecule into a certain neighbouring distance to our C-C layer, then it not only becomes stable itself - it stays where you moved it! Yes, timing is important. Emmanuelle Lemarchand - Material Chemist

Atomic Assembly is defined as the deliberate arrangement of atoms into predetermined patterns to create:

  • materials and molecules with specific macro-properties
  • systems or networks with very high densities

This field is the first true step toward real "ground-up" assembly; it leverages Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), molecular beam epitaxy or chemical vapour deposition to manipulate and position atoms, either as volumes or simple 2D materials.

Research

Tier7.400A decimal number between 0.0 and ~12.0 indicating the overall level of "advancement" of the science
TypePurePure sciences are focused on research and the improvement of knowledge. Applied sciences are too, but to a lesser extent and grant access to more concrete outcomes such as blueprints, governance, and others.
