The manipulation of atoms, the determination of magnetic moments, and the measurement of force fields of atoms and molecules have been in the focus of research since the development of quantum physics. With the invention of scanning tunnelling microscopy and atomic force microscopy, novel experimental tools have become available for investigations of charge and spin structures at the level of individual atoms. Even the controlled manipulation of electronic and spin states has become possible in recent years. This international symposium will focus on highlights of nanoscience research which will, ultimately, lead to a design of novel materials and devices on an atom-by-atom basis.
