The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) to research, develop and demonstrate the use of a chemistry-based approach to reshape and modify the 3D atomic structure of a mechanical probe using a scanning probe microscope (SPM). The proposed research will seek to address current limitations in scanning probe-based atomic manipulation to enable atomically precise manufacturing (APM).
