James Tyrrell of nanotechweb.org (requires free registration) explores the latest progress from the IBM “millipede project” and looks at what yet needs to be done. The researchers have completed a fully functional prototypes system and demonstrated. They have further demonstrated accurate control of tip position at a scanning speed three to four orders of magnitude faster than a typical scanning probe microscope, and the ability to write more than 108 indents at a density of 1 Tb per square inch with a single tip.
