Atoms placed with 20-nanometre precision—Mead drives new quantum tech

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 28, 20264 min read

A £12.6 million program will utilize a University of Manchester instrument to implant individual atoms into materials with 20-nanometre precision, advancing quantum tech & sensors.

The University of Manchester’s instrument, P-Name, can now implant individual atoms into a material with 20-nanometre precision, a capability central to a new £12.6 million research programme. Led by Professor Richard Curry, the Materials Engineering for Advanced Devices (MEAD) programme, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), aims to engineer materials with atomic-level control for breakthroughs in quantum technologies. This precision will be applied to create a sensor capable of locating buried pipes and cavities from the surface without digging, alongside advancements in computing…
