| Description: |
In this laboratory, NIST researchers develop metrology tools for nanoparticle manipulation and for studying atomic and molecular frictional forces. The instrument shown is an ultra-high vacuum scanning tunneling microscope and atomic force microscope. This instrument requires ultra low vibration, extremely stable temperature, and ultraclean air to realize its full capabilities. Results from the lab will help improve the durability of micro- and nano-devices (such as tiny motors, positioning devices or encoders) as well as the assembly of nanoparticles to form new materials.
