With the new haptic interface for the Nanonis SPM Control System, researchers from the University of Basel have been able to gain important insights into the adsorption of single molecules on a surface. | With the 3D force-feedback interface Omega from Force Dimension, they could position the tip of their Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) by hand in all three dimensions while naturally feeling the molecules via the tunneling current converted into tactile information.
