When a molecule was centered on a tiny bump, a nudge with the scanning tunneling microscope sent the legs of the molecule gently rotating, while the center stayed stationary.
The custom-built, ultra-low-temperature and ultra-high-vacuum scanning tunneling microscope allowed them to sweep an adjustable magnetic field across graphene samples prepared at Georgia Tech, observing and mapping the peculiar non-uniform spacing among discrete energy levels that form when the material is exposed to magnetic fields.
He describes new methods of production; the rise and (anticipated) decline of the silicon economy; the rebuilding of high tech atom by atom through scanning tunneling microscopes, nanomachines and other devices; the revolutionary new computers, including distributed platforms; information systems; and business mutations and digital opportunities, including such elements as highly diffused information systems, web applications and a mutation of what information technology is and does.
