The fat-fingers problem refers to the minimum curvature of an SPM tip surface when depositing a reactive moiety many times smaller than its diameter. Using a solution as the fingers is cheating, in that the product repetoire won't be atomically precise (not necessary for computers). I wonder if the researcher is considering anologous techniques to join CNTs? The ice on diamond seems interesting; should be related to diamond surface wear and stiction. I'd be curious to know what kind of instruments are used for nanomanipulation using fluids, that don't overlap with those using SPM-tip based actuation. Diverse research interests.
