Quote :

San Jose, CA - 21 Feb 2008:  IBM (NYSE: IBM) scientists, in collaboration with the University of Regensburg in Germany, are the first ever to measure the force it takes to move individual atoms on a surface.  This fundamental measurement provides important information for designing future atomic-scale devices: computer chips, miniaturized storage devices, and more.
