Towards Atom-by-Atom Fabrication: Mechanosynthetic donation and abstraction
Brandon Blue, Mathieu Morin, Alex Inayeh +55
Enabled by inverted-mode scanning tunneling microscopy (IM-STM) and the use of functionalized molecular tools, we demonstrate positionally-controlled mechanosynthetic addition (don…
Atomically precise mechanosynthesis of carbon structures on hydrogenated Si(100) by inverted-mode STM
Megan Cowie, Chris Deimert, Ryan Groome +44
The ability to build atomically precise structures on surfaces with complete control over both atomic placement and chemical bonding remains a central challenge in nanoscale fabric…
Design of a molecular Field Effect Transistor (mFET)
Ralph C. Merkle, Robert A. Freitas, Damian G. Allis
Field Effect Transistors (FETs) are ubiquitous in electronics. As we scale FETs to ever smaller sizes, it becomes natural to ask how small a practical FET might be. We propose and…
Mechanical Computing Systems Using Only Links and Rotary Joints
Ralph C. Merkle, Robert A. Freitas, Tad Hogg +3
A new model for mechanical computing is demonstrated that requires only two basic parts: links and rotary joints. These basic parts are combined into two main higher level structur…
