Si dancing on graphene

morreale Friday 05 of April, 2013
Oak Ridge National Laboratory posted a short video of six Si atoms dancing around on a graphene layer in an SEM. Researchers used the electron beam of the SEM to cause the Si atoms to move. They were able to reverse the Si atoms motion. Thus the atoms appear to dance. The ability to make atoms move between two positions is a new achievement and pretty cool.
