Overview
The progress of nanotechnology allows the fabrication of devices whose physical dimensions approach the atomic scale. For over 100 years, it has been known that the behaviour of physical systems at the atomic scale does not obey the familiar laws of classical physics. Atomic-size systems behave according to quantum mechanics, … For more content click the Read More button below.
