Computer-controlled chemistry at the single molecule level, a field very much in its infancy, represents arguably the most exciting and, to many, definitive example of the power and potential of nanotechnology. Recent ground-breaking work in Germany and the US has shown that it is possible to drive chemical reactions and to synthesise molecules via interactions driven by a scanning probe. In the UK, the nanoscience groups at Nottingham, Birmingham, and Oxford have demonstrated that atomic/molecular manipulation strategies pioneered at low temperatures can be extended to a room temperature environment. The focus of this fellowship application is to develop next-generation protocols for scanning probe manipulation capable of automated atom-by-atom assembly of, ultimately, three dimensional nanostructures. Our goal is to programme the assembly of matter from its consitutent atoms. This exceptionally challenging objective has the potential to revolutionise key areas of 21st century science including nanofabrication, materials processing, surface chemistry, and the study of low dimensional electron systems.

单分子水平上的计算机控制化学，一个非常处于起步阶段的领域，可以说是纳米技术的力量和潜力的最令人兴奋的，对许多人来说，最明确的例子。最近在德国和美国的突破性工作表明，通过扫描探针驱动的相互作用来驱动化学反应和合成分子是可能的。在英国，诺丁汉、伯明翰和牛津大学的纳米科学小组已经证明，在低温下开创的原子/分子操纵策略可以扩展到室温环境。该奖学金申请的重点是开发下一代扫描探针操作协议，能够自动化原子-原子组装，最终，三维纳米结构。我们的目标是设计出由组成物质的原子组成的物质集合体。这个极具挑战性的目标有可能彻底改变21世纪世纪科学的关键领域，包括纳米纤维，材料加工，表面化学和低维电子系统的研究。
