  • 1st European Nanomanipulation Workshop took place in Cascais, Portugal from May 17-19, 2010, jointly organized by the NOMCIS and NANOPARMA CRPs of the FANAS programme of the ESF.

 

The overall focus of the workshop was to bring together scientists who are active in the field of controlled manipulation of atoms, clusters, and nanoscale objects using scanning probe techniques. This includes basic techniques of manipulation, theoretical description of manipulation processes as well as applications ranging from nano- and mesoscale friction to automatic assembly of nano-objects:

- SPM based experimental techniques for manipulation of clusters and nanoscale objects

- Atomic and molecular scale manipulation

- Bio-manipulation

- Theoretical concepts for manipulation approaches and interpretation

- Connections between friction and nanoobject manipulation
