Researchers Holding Steady In An Atomic-scale Tug-of-war

Researchers Holding Steady In An Atomic-scale Tug-of-war Image Caption: A quantum mechanics-based simulation demonstrates how a new NIST instrument can delicately pull a chain of atoms apart. The chart records quantum jumps in conductivity as a gold contact is stretched 0.6 nanometer. The junction transitions from a 2-dimensional structure to a one-dimensional single-atom chain, with [...]
