Perspectives

John A. Dagata

Precision Engineering Division, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA. E-mail: john.dagata@nist.gov Imaging by scanning a tiny probe across a surface is a well-established technique for nanometer microscopy; now researchers are using these probes to manipulate matter and create small structures. In his Perspective, Dagata describes "an important milestone" reported in the same issue by Snow and Campbell (p. 1639), in which small oxidized structures were created with a scanning probe microscope.
