A research team at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a new advanced microscopy tool to 'write' with atoms, placing those atoms exactly where they are needed to give a material new properties.
Currently there is no technology that allows you to place different elements exactly where you want to place them and have the right bonding and structure.An artistic rendering depicts direct writing using ORNL ’s synthescope, a novel microscopy technique . A heater platform was designed to deliver atomized material to a sample, converting a scanning transmission electron microscope into a synthescope .
The development was performed by a research team at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The research team also want to be able to add atoms to the structures we create, so we need a supply of atoms. The idea morphed into an To accomplish improved control over atoms, the research team created a tool they call a synthescope for combining synthesis with advanced microscopy. The researchers used a scanning transmission electron microscope, or STEM, transformed into an atomic-scale material manipulation platform, according to a release by
