Interesting.
I.B.M. scientists have measured the force needed to nudge one atom.

Imaging at the Atomic and Molecular Scales
by Ben on Aug.26, 2007, under Atomic, Atomic Scale, Atoms, Microcosm, Photography, Photos, Physics, Science
I want to write this long winded article about atomic and molecular scale photography but I’m really not feeling it right now. Instead I present to you a gallery of images and a link to th e Omicron website, makers of high-powered nanoptic atomic-resolution microscopes. They have a huge gallery with images as small as 1nm.
Impressive.
I’ll revise this article soon.
