House cleaning on the nanoscale

A team of scientists at Friedrich-Alexander
Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has developed a novel
mechanical cleaning method for surfaces on the nanoscale. The
technique successfully removes even the tiniest contaminants down
to the atomic scale, achieving an unprecedented level of
cleanliness. The results of this study led by Prof. Dr. Erdmann
Spiecker from the Department of Materials Science at FAU have now
been published in the prestigious journal Nature
Communications.
