Molecular Beam Epitaxy Facility to Design Custom Materials for Scientists

The instrument used for molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) looks a little like the lunar module, with spindly metal legs feeding into a large cylindrical canister. But this device isn't headed for the moon—it delves into molecules instead, helping scientists craft new materials layer by layer with nearly atomic precision.
