In the first of a new series with an eye on the future we look at how manipulation at the level of atoms will transform chemistry
In a new series looking at what the future of chemistry might hold, we examine how atomic force microscopy or AFM might radically change the field. With the ability to move and place atoms precisely, the atomic force microscope offers new ways to investigate and perform syntheses. AFM can even give chemists the power to carry out reactions beyond the reach of conventional techniques.
