New 'Nano-positioners' May Have Atomic-scale Precision
Wednesday, August 20, 2008 - 21:07
in Physics & Chemistry
Engineers have created a tiny motorized positioning device that has twice the dexterity of similar devices being developed for applications that include biological sensors and more compact, powerful computer hard drives. The device, called a monolithic comb drive, might be used as a "nanoscale manipulator" that precisely moves or senses movement and forces.
