I can't read GERMAN! And then i scrolled down!. I think they do it just to show they can. I thought it was rather impressive.

Hiya Taggi, would just like to add a link to an english version link for you:

Here's the link.

I've done a fair bit of research into molecular beam deposition as well as mesoscopic systems studied with AFM and STM techniques (I'm coming towards the end of a PhD in it). Your post draw my attention because it's a blend of two things I love... small scale physics and modelling! Great find and thank you for sharing it.

 

[Tagamoga]

Oh, I am sorry, I did not though about that the article is in german. Really sorry, but the important thing is really in the youtubevideo shown at the bottom of the article.

sure they wanted only to show... but it is a little crazy too... *smile* I like crazyness in the positive way.

Thank you doyme... but the link does not show the english article...

Greetings, Taggi

Sorry about that. I fixed my link to go to the National Physical Laboratory page (straight from the horse's mouth so to speak). I don't know why the other one doesn't work.

pretty impressive, just out of curiosity, anyone know how much it cost to make that snowman?

Apparently it's not uncommon for artwork to show up on chips.

ha i use a similar microscope, although its sweep electon microscope (SEM) everyday at work. i now have a new mission in life! LOL

here's a pic ive taken, anyone got a clue? 3D image by the way

I think the last is a virus.... perhaps flu virus?

Greetings, Taggi

 

[SkelettetS]

nope no bacteria or virus. its a bit bigger, visible to the eye. it make lots of people sick though!

 

[Tagamoga]

Perhaps dust? Some have got allergie of dust...

Greetings, Taggi

Twelve sided dice? You're teaching microbes to play dungeons and dragons?
