Description: The AML houses facilities to: spy an individual molecule in a throng of millions, to seize it, and to manipulate it; arrange atoms into an ordered nanotechnology landscape of precisely spaced steps and terraces; determine the size of an electrical current by tabulating, one by one, the number of electrons flowing by; gauge distances in increments tinier than the radius of an atom; measure the strength of a chemical bond between an antibody and a virus particle.
