• Resumen

  • Crow reports on how people can build with atoms and can make all kinds of miracle materials based on how physicist Richard Feynman draws attention to the problem of manipulating things on a small scale. A new kind of microscope invented by Heinrich Rohrer and Gerd Binnig, which it took advantage of a bizarre phenomenon of quantum mechanics called tunnelling, in which particles do things they shouldn't be able to, according to classical physics. Sander Otte at the Technical University of Delft in the Netherlands and his colleagues, wrote an algorithm to automate the scanning and shuffling, which was a memory device that stores data by positioning individual chlorine atoms into patterns to encode each bit.
