A specially designed terahertz pulse moves electrical charge between the metal tip of a specialized microscope and a single molecule ... This could lead to breakthroughs in nanotechnology, advanced ...

To overcome this challenge, the researchers used terahertz light pulses, a type of light with a much lower frequency than visible light. These pulses cause electrons to move between a molecule and the ...

The ability to manipulate individual atoms and molecules represents the ultimate limit in 'top-down' approaches to nanotechnology ... used a scanning tunnelling microscope to spell out the ...
