Title: Quantum Physics; Nanoscale Assembly; NIST Atom Logo
Description: A 40-nanometer-wide NIST logo made with cobalt atoms on a copper surface. The ripples in the background are made by electrons, which create a fluid-like layer at the copper surface. Each atom on the surface acts like a pebble dropped in a pond.
