Electron microscope makes tiny devices
A new, highly efficient technique to make intricate nanoscale structures has been invented by physicists at the University of Pennsylvania in the US. Michael Fischbein and Marija Drndic have used a transmission electron microscope (TEM) to produce metallic nanodevices with a variety of shapes. The technique, which yields higher resolution than most existing nanodevice fabrication methods, could find applications in nanoelectronics, nanofluidics, plasmonics and particle manipulation on a chip.
