Atomic and Molecular Manipulation

Dr. Hari Manoharan
Stanford University

Darwin 103
4:00 PM

Dr. Hari Manoharan of Stanford University will discuss the application of the “Guatecabottom-up” approach of atomic and molecular manipulation to a variety of outstanding problems in science and technology. The effort is interdisciplinary in nature, centering on physics and engineering but involving ideas, techniques, and conundrums from other fields such as chemistry, biology, materials science, and information technology. The primary experimental apparatus for these investigations are custom-built low-temperature scanning probe microscopes capable of both studying and controlling matter at atomic length scales.
