DESCRIPTION

The team of Toma Susi at the University of Vienna uses an electron microscope to manipulate strongly bound materials with atomic precision. Since the instruments used are fully computerized, it is possible to show in a simulation how researchers actually use them. A simulation game on display at the Vienna Technical Museum in their special exhibition is now also released online, together with the latest research advance of silicon impurity manipulation in single-walled carbon nanotubes.
