Abstract
Imagine having the ability to control the placement of atoms with reasonable speed and accuracy. Having this capacity naturally brings with it incredible technological advancements in areas such as integrated circuits and biochemistry. An exciting process known as dip-pen nanolithography (DPN) that I have been actively perfecting over the past year gives researchers the ability to control the placement of individual atoms at a desired location on a substrate. I have presented some of my results last spring in BYU’s annual College of Physical and Mathematical Science Spring Research Conference.
