Carving Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes with a STM
This video outlines a new approach to carving nanomaterials
atom by atom using a scanning transmission microscope. The video comes
from the research scientists from the Nano2Hybrids European
research project.
The research team were able to use the STM to change the
diameter of organic and inorganic single walled nanotubes.
Additionally, they were able to cut notches into the tubes and even
reshape them.
