STM Arrays, Nanoscale Engineering, Small Scale Electromechanical Devices

General Physics scientists, influenced by the futurism of Kurzweil, Feynman, Binnig, and Rohrer (STM Nobel Prize), have directed research into the development of nano-bots. Of course, the major tools of nano-manipulation are the quantum microscopes: the AFM, SEM, TEM, and of course STM. Expertise has been developed in the single tip STM stylus, something that needs to change into the multi-tip array to create high throughput and more complex integration and manipulation of molecular machines. Of course, the machine's complexity is a consideration, but an electronic and hardware system that can move multiple atoms at once will be able to create novel synthetic machines at the nanoscale. Automation and engineering of devices is what the futurists dream of without the technical specifications necessary for practical incremental science. General Physics STM work develops recipes and protocols for high throughput STM conducting atomic adhesion and bonding processes that develop a rigorous voltage, current, power, Newton, and Langmuir unit procedure at the sub-micron or nanoscale. In essence, this means that miniature scaled devices, smaller than a single nanometer, maybe even at the scale of an Ångstrom, will be possible to produce at an industrial scale, with nearly limitless possibilities. General Physics scientists maintain the most arduous above board safety standards for research in terms of sequestering carcinogenic compounds, potentially toxic chemicals, and health hazards. Strides have been made in fume hood design and construction and we are looking at new collaborations in the near term.

On a personal note, STM has provided a rich and interesting basis for the development of a theory of quantum tunneling that has led to a new book project entitled Interaction Quantum: Epiphenomenal Discussions of Physics and Modern Science. The purpose of this book is to refocus the quantum revolution into a more holographic divergence theorem interpretation of quantum tunneling laws, basically a description of quantum systems that are nested in a geometric ordering from field axioms and Platonic solids. By removing the uncertainty in Heisenberg's picture, one can move to a scattering impact parameter symmetry discussion of determinism and free will. There is much to discuss.
