Opening + Introducing Argon the Dog: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler greets the audience and introduces his on-stage companion, Argon the dog. Disc 2 from the "Talking Nano" 6
Chapter 3 Exploring the World of Atoms: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler opens his talk with a trip into the world of atoms. Chapter 4 Who First Started Thinking about Atoms?: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler asks who first imagined atoms thousands of years ago. Chapter 5 What are Atoms Made of?: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler explains what atoms are made of...protons, neutrons and electrons. Chapter 6 How Small are Atoms?: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler shows us how incredibly small atoms are. Chapter 7 Everything is Made of Atoms: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler explains that everything is made of atoms - and why that's a really good thing. Chapter 8 How can we see atoms: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler reveals that despite their small size, there are devices that allow us to "see" atoms. Chapter 8a Optical Microscopes: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler starts his tour of microscopes with optical microscopes. Chapter 8b Electron Microscopes: To see things beyond the resolution of optical microscopes, Ernst Ruska developed the electron microscope. Chapter 8c Scanning Tunneling Microscopes: Even electron microscopes lack the resolution needed to see individual atoms. Enter the scanning tunneling microscope - Don Eigler's favorite device. Chapter 9 How the STM Images Atoms: Unlike the scanning electron microscope, Eigler's STM "feels" surfaces to generate images. Chapter 10 Welcome to My World of Atoms!: Don Eigler show us HIS world of atoms with an assortment of amazing images created in his lab. Chapter 11 Using the STM to Move Atoms: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler explains how he uses his scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to move individual atoms. Chapter 12 Design and Build with Atoms: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler discusses the potential to use atoms to design and build nanoscale devices. Chapter 13 Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler explains talks about how and why he built quantum corrals in his IBM lab. Chapter 14 The Atom O Scope: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler reveals his The Atom O Scope - a GUI interface that allows hime to control his STM (scanning tunneling microscope) from anywhere in the world over the internet. Chapter 15 Calling California: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler calls his colleague back at his IBM lab. Chapter 16 Real Time Scanning: Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler uses his Atom-O-Scope STM controller to move atoms. Chapter 17&18 Moving an Atom: Success! Nanoscale imaging pioneer Don Eigler moves an atom in front of a live audience at the Museum of Science Boston.
