Atom Pinhole Camera Acts as a Shrinking Copy Machine Posted on June 4, 2009 by Robin Basically by shooting atoms through a nanoscale pinhole on a mask at a substrate on the other side, researchers have found that they will create a smaller version of the reflected structure – a cheap and easy way to make a nanostructure. What’s more, it’s scaleable: they can make loads of pinholes and shoot atoms through them and they’ll make loads of nanostructures which don’t overlap, so mass production becomes an option.
