IBM in atoms was a demonstration by IBM scientists in 1989 〔http://www.cnet.com/news/ibms-35-atoms-and-the-rise-of-nanotech/〕 of a technology capable of manipulating individual atoms. A scanning tunneling microscope was used to arrange 35 individual xenon atoms on a substrate of chilled crystal of nickel to spell out the three letter company acronym. It was the first time atoms had been precisely positioned on a flat surface.〔(2 Researchers Spell 'I.B.M.,' Atom by Atom - New York Times )〕 On Apr 30, 2013 IBM published an article on its website and a video on YouTube called "A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie". 〔(A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie - IBM ) (A Boy And His Atom: The World's Smallest Movie - YouTube )〕 ==Research== Donald Eigler and Erhard Schweizer of the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose, California, used a scanning tunneling microscope to position 35 individual xenon atoms on a substrate of chilled crystal of nickel to form the acronym "IBM". They also created chains of xenon atoms similar in form to molecules. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「IBM (atoms)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
