As interest in nanotechnology peaks, government scientists are claiming a significant breakthrough with the ability to make atoms move one by one. Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and ...

Getting atoms to do what you want isn’t easy — but it’s at the heart of a lot of ground-breaking research in physics. Creating and controlling the behavior of new forms of matter is of particular ...

IBM has figured out how much force it takes to move atoms. Next, it will try to build things with those atoms. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research ...
