Scientists from Berkeley Lab and the National University of Singapore have developed a way to manipulate nanoparticles using an electron beam. They used an electron beam from a transmission electron microscope to trap gold nanoparticles and direct their movement. They also used the beam to assemble several nanoparticles into a tight cluster.
