@djbro16 Yep - we can turn the stream of ions up or down, and also vary the speed. The ions are like small atomic bullets, so the more energy they have the harder they hit ---- but strangely, the faster they go (higher energy) the smaller is the chance of hitting something. The process is pretty complicated... for instance, one atom that is knocked out by an ion, may hit other ions and so it goes... in a kind of cascade way.
It would help to go to university and study nanotechnology, physics, chemistry or something like that :), and then - as early as possible - make concert with a research group that does this sort of thing, and say your interested........but last week we had a 10th grade public school student to do nanomanipulation of graphene oxide for the first time in the world (we think).
Dont expect "mass" production anytime soon - we plan on being able to do "serial" production in 1 year - to make several devices one by one with semiautomated robots - a primitive assembly line. The work is part of a european project, NANOHAND, between partners from all over europe. Im responsible for development of the grippers, and work closely with Oldenburg University, where the nanomanipulation "movie" was recorded.
Nano materials could build a space building, forget the cable, a 100,000 foot building with a craft accelerated up the inside of it will put you into orbit using magnetic propultion...
Yep - the nice thing is that you can load your MS paint into the Focused Ion Beam drawing machine, and get an exact copy - in nanosize. You wont believe how much time this saves us when we want to try a new design of a nanotool or a device... we have two FIB machines, and this is done with the low-resolution instrument :) ...
You.....have got to be kidding me. I never imagined something this cool could actually exist! There is....god...fucking....damn. This thing is like MS Paint for actual matter in physical space!
Nice job Denmark. This will make manipulation of carbon nanotubes possible and it will improve the production of ribbon from nanotubes, which is important part of the future space elevator
We used FIB-SEM, focused ion beam combined with scanning electron microscope. The film is composed of a many still pictures taken as the FIB process progresses, using SEM. The FIB is a beam of ions etching or milling away material. The SEM is "just" a very powerful microscope. So yes, it is a sequence.
can you modulate the intensity?

is it real?

Yes, absolutely real!... the film is sped up though, the full process is like half an hour.

what do you have to do to work in a field such as that?

in how much time do you think this will make its first mass production appearance and in what form? btw, what's your job in this project? thx

i dont believe in the space elevator at all :).. but i believe we'll see some pretty amazing things emerging from nanotechnology the next decade...

FEI dual beam? if you used an Zeiss Nvision you could have created a realtime video from the SEM while continuing to mill!
daithimac23 3 years ago
I think we can do that with the FEI dual beam as well... we definitely want to do that :)

where does the blasted material go? what happends to it?
KFDonny 3 years ago
Good question. Its not very much material; some of it gets redeposited on the structure, other just sits on the walls of the chamber.
