A nano-manipulator with atomic resolution can position work pieces at sub Ångström distances.
Atomic resolution:
- is akin to printing resolution
- must not be confused with atomic precision which only require correct bond topology (=connectivity).
Thermal expansion or bending through external forces can spoil atomic resolution in 3D space over great distances. This isn't a problem in nanofactories where relative distances between (sturdy) AP workpieces and (sturdy) AP tooltips are microscopic.
