Adam Cohen

Nanotechnology

  • At age 18 Adam invented a circuit that allows the Scanning Tunnel Microscope probe to pick up a tiny bit of copper at a time, deposit it over the silicon surface, pick up another bit and deposit it and so on.
  • It is a more reliable system to pattern microchips. The transfer occurs hundreds of times per second.
  • This achievement won him both 1st Place in the 56th Westinghouse Science Talent Search and induction into the National Gallery for America's Young Inventors (1997)
