Nano positioning with light beams ?

Hello all,

Just a thought !

Yesterday I saw a gamma knife on the television.
With this they cut tissue in the brain, without opening the head.
This is done by 250 gamma beams, who are alone very harmless,
but all together in their "burning point" they burn tissue away.

Anyway (this is of course way out off my league) what if you
would use something similar for positioning atoms. So by
keeping one Atom locked between beams from different (opposite)
directions and doing this also with the one you would like to push
against it, you could move and work in 3d, instead of flat, like an STM.

Well............. :-)

Greetings,

Berrie
