| When you think of building, you always think of pylons, bricks, cement, glass, scaffolding, cranes, bulldozers, or heavy industrial machinery. But this is not always the case. New methods of building are being developed that don’t use girders or cement, but individual atoms. Engineers can now manipulate single atoms to create tiny machines and things that can be used in new and exciting inventions. |
