A dangerous picnic nano-table
Author: Albert Folch (then postdoc at the Massachussets Institute of Technology with Prof. Martin Schmidt's group in the EECS Dept.).
This SEM micrograph shows a cantilever with a tip that is half-etched (the hat serves as a mask to produce the tip by under-etching). It looks like a small picnic table at the end of a precipice ...
