For this project I got the chance to show off one of my favorite tools from work, the Focused Ion Beam! In this video, I use the FIB to 3d print and etch away material at the nanoscale, making a youtube play button that's only 1 hundredth of a millimeter across. It's made of an amorphous mix of platinum and carbon, and it's so small you need an electron microscope to see it properly. Enjoy! Also: Thanks to all my subscribers! Also also: Leave comments for new fabrication techniques for the 2^13 button! Also also also: I started a Facebook page for AlphaPhoenix! Follow the page and share with your friends! https://www.facebook.com/AlphaPhoenixChannel/ That was a lot of exclamation marks… - here's the extra stuff: #WorldRecord #Nanoscale #Microscope Filmed in the Materials department at UCSB with permission.
