Feynman considered a number of interesting ramifications of a general ability to manipulate matter on an atomic scale. He was particularly interested in the possibility of denser computer circuitry and microscopes that could see things much smaller than is possible with [scanning electron microscopes]?. Today we have [atomic force microscopes]?, [scanning tunneling microscopes]?, and other examples of [probe microscopy]?. |

He was particularly interested in the possibility of denser computer circuitry and microscopes that could see things much smaller than is possible with scanning electron microscopes. Researchers at IBM created today's [atomic force microscope]?s, scanning tunneling microscopes, and other examples of [probe microscopy]? and storage systems such as Millipede?. |
