Automated nano-manipulation
Supported in part by NSF CPS: Small: Collaborative
Research: Automated and Robust Nano Assembly with Atomic Force Microscopes
(Award # 1035844)
o This
research aims to develop a cyber-physical approach for automating
manipulation of nanoscale particles, tubes, and wires via atomic force
microscopes with the eventual goal of nanoscale device prototyping.
