Abstract :
The authors describe their efforts to use STM to image and manipulate biomolecular structures such a collagen. They present design considerations for a precursor to the nanotechnology workstation: a two-tip STM. The authors also note some future possibilities for scanning tunneling engineering and for nanoscale tunnel sensors and devices.<>
